DEDICATION. 


MAXWELL  T.  MASTERS,  M.  D.;  F.  R.  S.;  F.  L.  S.; 

EALING,  London. 
My  Dear  Sir, 

Just  ten  years  have  passed  since  the  day  that  you  laid 
your  hand  upon  my  shoulder  and  lead  the  way  to  the 
room  where  the  Scientific  Committee  of  the  Royal 
Horticultural  Society  in  S6uth  Kensington  met.  Just  ten 
years.  It  is  Sunday  to-day.  I  look  from  my  desk  over 
the  snowcapped  peaks  of  the  Sierras  in  the  direction  of 
the  land  where  you  reside.  Quietness  reigns  around 
me.  There  is  not  a  soul  near  but  my  dear  wife  under- 
neath the  window,  busy  trimming  dying  branches  out 
of  her  flower  bushes.  The  sun  is  setting  beyond  over 
the  Pacific  Ocean  hundreds  of  miles  away,  but  still  to 
be  recognized  from  my  lofty  Alp. — I  come  to  you.  I 
hear  the  bells  ring  as  of  yore,  when  I  first  caught  sight 
of  your  fair  land.  I  was  coming  up  the  Thames  on  that 
Sunday  morn  after  I  bid  farwell  to  my  native  land. 
Dear  Sir,  lay  again  your  hand  upon  my  shoulder  and 
press  my  right  with  the  other  as  you  did  when  first  we 
met.  I  breathed  the  air  of  this  grandest  of  all  churches 
with  its  high,  azure  dome,  and  still  fresh  with  this  air, 
still  reverend  with  the  impression  of  my  mountain 
home,  I  come  to  you  with  a  gift,  praying  for  its  accept- 
ance. 

See  here  this  book:  A  list  of  Orchid  Hybrids,  com- 
plete and  classified.  Do  not  use  the  few  moments  of 
our  meeting  with  its  perusal,  but  let  me  say  a  few  words 
with  my  gift.  My  book  has  two  qualities:  copiousness 


4  DEDICATION. 

and  system.  And  two  reasons  exist  for  my  gift:  respect 
and  friendship.  Accept  out  of  respect  the  labor  part, 
the  gathering  of  so  much  material.  You  are  a  worker, 
and  your  hidden  hand  as  an  editor  has  done  more  ser- 
vice to  our  gardening-world  than  the  thousands  of  readers 
of  your  journal  have  a  full  conception  of.  There  is  but 
one  "  Gardeners'  Chronicle  "  and  you  are  its  molder.  I 
do  not  want  to  rank  my  humble  work  with  your  achieve- 
ments; far  from  it.  But  I  believe  it  honest  enough  to 
be  dedicated  to  you,  as  a  sign  of  respect  and  acknowl- 
edgement out  of  the  wide  circle  of  those  who  appreciate 
your  service  to  our  profession.  The  other  reason  is  one 
of  personal  character:  accept,  out  of  friendship,  the  dedi- 
cation of  the  systematical,  the  genial  part  of  my  work. 
Its  idea,  its  classification  is  my  own.  Whatever  its 
success  in  the  way  of  reception  by  outsiders  may  prove 
to  be,  will  you  take  it  from  me  as  a  sign,  an  humble 
proof  of  my  gratefulness  for  kindnesses  extended  upon 
me?  Please,  do  not  waive  the  idea.  I  have  experienced 
more  than  once  what  it  is  to  be  cast  upon  a  rugged  shore 
and  receive  succor  from  an  unlocked  for  direction.  One 
word  of  encouragement  spoken  at  the  proper  time,  goes 
further  than  riches  towards  satisfaction  in  this  struggle 
for  existence.  Ten  years  have  passed  over  the  land;  and 
vivid  like  my  love  for  orchids  was  the  remembrance  of 
your  kindness. 

Dear  Sir,  I  thank  you  for  your  friendly  reply.  I  do 
not  hear  any  longer  the  pealing  of  your  Abbey's  bells. 
There  is  but  one  up-train  on  Sunday  and  I  cannot 
afford  to  miss  it.  I  live  a  lonely  life,  lonely  because  I 
have  no  occasion  to  discuss  with  fellow-thinkers  the 
changes  of  this  life  and  world.  But  I  live  with  you  and 
for  you,  and  as  a  proof  of  my  existence  see  here  this  little 
tribute  of  leisure  hours.  Time  has  wrought  its  changes

with  you  since  we  met  last.  Take  from  me  the  wish 
that  fate  may  be  gentle  with  you  and  give  you^still  many 
years  in  enjoyment  of  your  favored  pursuits. — I?  O 
never  mind  about  me.  We  human  beings  have  all  our 
share  of  burdensome  times.  I  have  been  side-tracked 
for  years;  and  if  my  mind  has  been  forced  to  abandon 
its  flight  for  a  period,  let  me  tell  you  the  glorious  truth: 
I  live  a  happy  home  life.  I  had  occasion  to  show  my 
wife  a  few  orchids,  and  tell  her  about  the  rest.  She  is 
a  soul  like  the  character  that  dwells  in  our  spectabile 
ladyslipper.  I  promised  her  to  take  her  to  your  land 
and  show  her  your  treasured  orchids.  I  trust  that  day 
will  come,  and  may  fate  grant  that  we  find  you  well  and 
hearty.  Farewell! — 

Our  sun  here  has  set.  There  is  no  noise  to  be  heard 
but  the  crickets  in  the  grass  and  the  ringing  of  my  cow's 
bell  from  the  pasture  below.  My  dear  wife  has  left  her 
pansy-bed,  and  I  hear  the  solemn  strains  of  Chopin's 
Funeral  March,  a  favored  tune  of  mine.  I  have  to 
leave  my  desk  and  pass  the  rest  of  this  Sunday  in  my 
wife's  company.  Farewell  again 

from  sincerely  yours 

GEO.  HANSEN.

"AFTER    ALL" — REASON   FOR  WRITING   THIS    BOOK — HOW 

SHOULD    WE    CLASSIFY   ORCHID    HYBRIDS? WHAT    I 

DID  IN  CLASSIFYING WHAT  KIND  OF  NAMES  SHOULD

ORCHID   CULTURE A   WORD  TO   THOSE   I  AM    UNDER 

OBLIGATION    TO. 


After  All. 

"After  all,"  are  the  words  of  the  orchid  cultivator, 
when  reading  the  announcement  of  my  list.  It  has 
been  embarrassing  for  him  to  read,  hear  and  be  talked 
to  about  this,  that  and  the  other  orchid  hybrid,  and  not 
as  much  as  an  enumeration,  not  to  say  classification, 
was  to  be  had  in  print  of  any  nation's  tongue.* 

"After  all,"  so  sighs  the  raiser  of  hybrids,  the.  man 
who  recognizes  the  value  of  an  artificially  raised  orchid. 
He  did  not  know  for  certain  which  crosses  had  been 
perfected,  and  without  a  guide  like  my  list,  he  could 
work  in  the  dark  only,  and  even  then  despair  of  light 
coming  to  him  after  years  of  hard  and  trying  work. 

"After  all,"  so  exclaims  the  man  acquainted  with 
my  intention  of  compiling  this  list,  for  already  so  long 

*  E.  Bonhof,  Dictionnaire  des  Orchidees  Hybrides,  —appeared  since. 


10  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

a  time  that  he  gave  up  ever  hearing  about  the  realization 
of  my  plan,  though  he  had  given  me  in  good  faith  and 
with  pleasure  the  use  of  his  "record"  in  the  hybrid 
raising  community  of  orchid  growers. 

" After  all."  Let  me  too  vociferate  thus,  and  breathe 
a  sigh  of  relief.  I  was  nothing  more  or  less  than  one 
of  those  hundreds  of  young  enthusiasts,  to  be  found 
where  orchids  have  a  home  in  the  glass-structures  of  the 
plant-loving  nations.  But  it  was  only  a  short  while 
until  I  perceived  the  necessity  of  keeping  track  of  those 
t(  mules  "  springing  up  all  around  us  ever  since  Dominy 
and  Seden  achieved  their  first  successes.  The  nucleus 
of  my  collection  of  notes  on  orchid  hybrids  was  formed 
in  the  year  1884;  just  ten  years  ago  this  month. — Did  you 
not  read  about  the  stick  of  tropic-grown  wood  washed 
upon  the  shores  of  your  Isle  of  Wight?  So  with  me.  I  was 
reared  and  grew  up  thousands  of  miles  away  from  where 
I  landed  in  this  my  resting  place.  Like  the  stick  that 
you  picked  up  and  tried  to  trace  the  origin  of,  so  have 
1  been  tossed  about  by  the  gulf-stream  of  fate,  and  grew 
rugged  and  rough,  dancing  and  floating  in  the  whirl- 
pools of  this  life's  waters.  But  hidden  under  the  smooth, 
indiscernible  outside  of  water-worn  bark,  I  had  concealed 
the  marrow  of  my  strength,  the  value  of  my  life.  The 
sheltering  spinal  column  grew  crooked,  and  the  capability 
of  erection  is  very  much  impeded,  but  in  this  dwarfed  state 
of  brain  and  life  I  still  retain  the  character  of  my  kind. 
You  can  still  tell  by  the  grain  of  your  stick  where  the 
soil  should  be  found  that  gave  nourishment  to  its  roots. 
— It  is  but  a  trifling  addition  to  our  knowledge,  this  my 
hybrid  list.  But  it  is  the  best  I  am  able  to  produce 
under  the  circumstances.  You  who  knew  about  my 
plan,  do  not  call  little  the  effort  made  by  me.  I  have 
guarded  and  nourished  carefully  and  lovingly  the  iiu- 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  11 

cleus  of  my  list  through  a  succession  of  ten  years.  I 
have  added  and  revised;  I  have  stopped  and  entirely 
suspended  the  work  begun  then,  saying  to  myself  over 
and  over  again:  ere  you  place  this  list  before  the  public 
ten  others  will  be  ready  likewise.  None  of  them  made 
their  appearance.  And  again  I  stuck  to  my  plan.  A 
year  ago  last  Xmas,  that  was  the  time  when  you  should 
have  had  my  list  on  your  table  of  gifts.  But  the  funds 
to  cover  the  expense  of  printing  (I  learned  long  before 
this  that  I  had  to  be  my  own  publisher)  they  have  been 
taken  from  me  after  being  for  years  before  my  very  eyes. 
Did  you,  my  reader,  ever  perform  work  and  did  not  re- 
ceive the  duly  earned  remuneration?  1  can  sing  a 
goodly  song  of  such  experience,  the  refrain  of  which 
sounds  something  like:  Such  are  the  ways  of  the 
predatory  well-to-do.  Still,  time  heals  all  sores,  and 
once  more  approached  the  day  when  the  messenger  from 
my  recluse  should  go  forth.  But  in  all  of  us  is  yet 
fresh  the  remembrance  of  what  the  papers  love  to  term 
"  hard  times."  This  course  of  civilization,  this  gradu- 
ally brought  about  accumulation  of  conditions  and  cir- 
cumstances to  rearrange  the  social  positions  of  millions, 
to  please  the  trifling  fancies  of  the  "  upper  four-hun- 
dred," it  approached  me  while  my  hand  clutched  the 
glittering  metal  saved,  saved  and  saved  again  to  pay  for 
my  pet's  outfit:  and  my  grip  loosened  when  it  came  to 
the  question  of  holding  above  water  the  head  of  the 
only  other  one  born  by  those  whom  I  call  father  and 
mother.  This  song  has  the  well-known  refrain:  Such 
are  the  ways  of  the  generous  handrto-mouth. 

(P.  S. — April  27,  1895.  One  more  year  has  passed, 
and  it  is  just  one  span  of  twelve  months  since  I,  driven 
by  desperation,  stood  before  a  son  of  Sem  and  asked 
him  to  loan  me  the  required  funds  to  carry  on  the  print-

ing  of  what  now,  after  it  seems  a  decade,  will  shortly 
appear  before  you. — A  son  of  Sem. — I  never  knew  per- 
sonally of  a  generous,  unselfish  trait  of  that  race  to  a  son 
of  Ham  or  Japhet.  But  I  had  heard  from  a  man  whose 
every  word  I  would  endorse  and  spread  as  gospel,  that 
this  man,  a  glittering  member  of  the  jeunesse  doree, 
was  the  only  representative  of  all  his  society  companions 
who  could  be  looked  up  to  as  a  man  of  higher  principles. 
To  him  I  went.  Not  humble;  I  was  not  begging.  Not 
proud;  I  was  petitioning.  Petitioning  for  what?  For 
a  paltry  loan  of  a  few  hundred  dollars,  on  interest  which 
would  admit  breathing  under.  He  knew  of  me;  he 
knew  my  salary;  he  knew  what  position  I  held.  And  I 
knew  that  he  had  the  disposal  of  not  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands, nay,  millions. — I  went  to  him,  and  went  from 
him.  Not  angry  with  him;  I  knew  better.  Angry  at 
me  for  having  gone  against  my  conviction,  my  positive 
opinion  of  judging  of  his  kind  with  the  right  measure. 
Twelve  months  have  passed.  The  Gardeners'  Chronicle 
has  brought  a  list  of  hybrid  Cypripediums.  Mr.  Meas- 
ures has  felt  induced  to  publish  a  second  edition  of  his 
list,  and  now  comes  the  Orchid  Review  with  its  first  in- 
stallment of  Selenipedia.  Twelve  months  of  waiting, 
of  saving,  of  fearing.  Twelve  more,  and  my  manu- 
script would  remain  where  it  is.  If  any  of  my  readers 
know  what  it  is  to  have  once  lived  in  affluence,  and 
to  be  reduced  to  need,  if  he  knows  that,  conditions  a 
hundred  times  worse  than  to  have  been  poor  at  all  times: 
he  better  join  with  me  into  the  most  damning  curse 
which  ever  has  been  pronounced  over  riches.  The 
French  Revolution  of  crime  and  murder  may  have  been 
nasty  to  those  subjected  to  the  blind  folly  of  an  em- 
bittered mob.  But,  poor  creatures,  with  all  your*  terrible 
-deeds,  you  can  never  equal  in  ten  such  periods  the  see-

ing,  the  calculated,  the  premeditated  cruelty  of  the  rich 
reigning  over  and  corrupting  amongst  us. — It  is  glorious 
satisfaction  to  know  that  a  day  of  reckoning  is  bound 
to  come  ere  night  settles  around  us.) 

Do  not  mind  the  spoiling  of  so  much  paper  through 
relating  of  personal  grievances.  But  I  have  worked 
with  hundreds  of  my  acquaintances  in  rank  and  file, 
and  to  them  I  owe  an  explanation  how  the  quiet  scient- 
ist of  their  knowledge  has  developed  into  a  politician 
after  disappearing  for  so  long  a  time,  as  if  swallowed 
by  an  abyss.  If  I  still  cling  to  the  plan  of  this  my 
orchid  hybrid  list  through  all  these  trials,  forgive  me  if 
I  maintain  that  my  effort  was  not  a  small  one. 


Reason  for  Writing  this  Book. 

That  the  interest  in  orchids  is  general  and  on  the 
increase  was  already  manifest  ten  years  ago,  and  it  is 
more  than  ever  so  this  very  day.  I  do  not  like  to  call 
this  state  a  sport,  a  fashion.  No,  I  see  in  the  increase 
of  the  interest  taken  in  orchids  a  higher  standard  of 
taste  and  judgment  of  the  plant-loving  world.  There 
are  a  large  number  of  species  of  plants  from  all  regions 
of  the  globe  in  cultivation  which  have  quite  as  peculiar 
a  way  of  growing  as  our  orchids,  though  perhaps  for 
them  as  a  genus  we  claim  a  more  general  interest  in 
their  oddity,  but  I  have  found  the  most  just  solution  for 
this  problem  in  the  character  of  the  orchid  flower.  My 
ideas  upon  that  subject  were  put  into  words  ten  years 
ago,  and  as  I  was  then  more  direct  under  the  influence 
of  observing  these  plants  and  their  flowers,  I  do  not 
like  to  rewrite  my  words  from  those  days  but  give  at 
another  place  in  translation  what  belongs  more  cor- 
rectly here. 


14  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

The  advance-guard  of  the  army  of  orchid  hybrids 
which  has  been  arriving  with  us  in  the  early  sixties,  has 
been  followed  by  a  steady  increase  of  their  number  until 
now  we  almost  despair  of  ever  getting  order  into  the 
leadership-lost  legions.  The  Cypripedia-crosses,  which 
have  been  recorded  by  me,  pass  the  thousand  mark.  If 
I  should  be  told  that  I  come  too  late  with  my  effort  to 
restore  order  in  this  vastness  of  accumulated  material, 
I  feel  satisfied  such  voice  must  come  from  a  man  who 
has  been  baffled  in  the  attempt  to  sift  the  multitude  of 
varieties  for  himself.  I  agree  with  him  that  it  is  a  great 
pity  that  a  weeding  out  of  this  bed  of  plant-names  has 
not  taken  place  before  this,  but  what  is  this  wilderness 
grown  up  in  the  past  thirty  years  to  what  it  will  Le  only 
three  years  hence?  We  can  not  take  up  a  journal  with- 
out finding  reference  made  to  the  hundreds,  nay,  thou- 
sands of  seedlings  growing  up  in  every  collection  where 
orchids  find  a  home.  Like  the  cat  in  ScheffePs  Trum- 
peter from  Saekkingen,  remarks: 

Seinen  Hausbedarf  an  Liedern 
Eeimt  ein  jeder  selbst  sich  heute 

so  does  everybody  who  devotes  a  few  square  yards  of 
glass  to  orchid  culture  try  to  raise  his  homeconsume  of 
hybrids.  It  is,  therefore,  good  time  yet  to  come  forward 
with  my  list,  before  the  period  sets  in  in  which  we  will 
attribute  more  praise  to  the  products  of  home  cultiva- 
tion than  to  the  importing  of  ever  new  varieties. 

If  you  read  in  one  number  of  our  principal  horticul- 
tural journal  that  the  old,  old  cross  of  Cypripedium 
vernixium  has  been  reraised  with  no  material  difference 
than  the  use  of  another  variety  of  the  original  species, 
and  that  its  progeny  receives  the  two  distinct  names  of 
Murillo  and  Dibdin;  and  the  next  week's  edition  of  this 
very  same  journal  tells  us  of  two  more  places  where  this

same  hybrid  sprung  up,  and  while  the  seedlings  from 
the  one  place  are  recorded  as  merely  vernixium,  the 
other  is  given  the  name  of  Daviesianum;  if  you  notice 
this,  and  are  interested  in  such  culture:  does  it  not  dawn 
upon  you  that  it  is  very  high  time  that  some  definite 
plan  was  devised  upon  which  to  depend  for  naming  and 
classifying  the  nurselings  of  our  care?  It  must.  And 
should  not  every  one  rejoice  and  gladly  consent  if  some- 
body proposes  such  classification,  provided  his  list  is  a 
presentable  and  acceptable  one?  I  myself  do  not  be- 
lieve in  authority  any  more  than  the  next,  and  openly 
confess  to  the  knowledge  of  the  detriment  worked  unto 
science  when  blindly  following  the  arrangements  of  an 
autocrat.  But  now  when  the  trouble  has  assumed  such 
threatening  proportions,  and  everybody  interested  is 
clamoring  "Where  are  we  going?"  would  it  not  be  best 
to  adhere  to  some  plain  system  and  be  ruled  by  it  in 
future?  Do  not  mind  that  it  is  an  obscure  and  uiiheard- 
of  person  who  proposes  a  reorganization.  The  gambling 
fraternity  of  the  race-course  has  its  stud-book,  and  swears 
by  its  record.  Let  us — dealing  with  scientific  objects — 
unite  and  stay  by  a  standard  of  organization,  not  mind- 
ing the  hurting  of  the  feelings  of  this  or  the  other  just 
because  his  seedling's  name  is  not  the  legitimate  one. 

My  list  should  establish  order  in  the  chaos,  and  the 
purchaser  of  it  can  depend  that  with  every  year  I  will 
put  before  him,  at  a  nominal  figure,  the  supplement 
record  of  the  past  season. 


16  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

How  should  we  Classify  Orchid   Hybrids? 

Let  us  contemplate  the  possibilities  of  a  single  instance 
to  illustrate  how  we  should  be  guided.  Let  us  take 
Cypripedium  barbatum  and  insigne,  for  instance.  Do 
not  pay  so  much  attention  to  the  scrupulously  scented 
out  varieties  of  those  willing  to  pay  for  the  naming  of 
such  unica  only.  There  is  but  one  variety  of  barbatum 
which  claims  sufficient  distinction  to  exert  a  determining 
influence  in  hybridizing,  viz.:  Crossii  (more  righteously 
named  Crossianum).  Of  Cpd.  insigne  nothing  but  the 
three  varieties,  Chantinii,  Maulei  and  Sanderse,  will  dom- 
inate sufficiently  in  hybridizing  to  admit  of  tracing  in 
their  progeny.  It  will  never  do  for  us  to  allow  more 
than  the  mere  citing  of  any  of  those  varieties  recorded 
by  legion,  but  recognized  only  by  those  who  have  a 
personal  interest  in  any  of  them.  We  therefore  have 
the  following  possibilities: 

barbatum  ? X     insigne — Ashburtonise. 

.  "        X    insigne  ? —         "  var. 

X        "     Chantinii, 

Maulei  or 

Sanderae. —          "          3  var. 
"       Crossii..  X    insigne  or  any 

of  its  3  var.. —         "          4  var. 

Such  are  the  possibilities.  But  then,  how  many  of 
them  will  stand  the  critical  examination  of  an  unbiased 
judge  and  pass  as  sufficiently  distinct  to  deserve  varietal 
rank?  Very  often  the  reverse  of  the  original  cross  will 
turn  out  to  be  identical,  and  while  the  possibilities  of 
the  above  hybrid  could  be  increased  ad  infinitum  by 
allowing  the  establishment  of  varieties  according  to 
whichever  sexes  of  the  kinds  were  employed  in  the 
progeny,  I  do  not  enumerate  such  chances,  as  it  must 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  17 

be  left  to  the  committee  before  which  such  crosses  may 
be  put  for  a  certificate  of  existence  to  determine  whether 
or  not  sufficient  character  has  been  obliterated  to  refer 
the  progeny  to  varieties  already  catalogued. 

The  offsprings  of  an  identical  cross  should  not  receive 
different  names  unless  a  variety  has  been  used  which 
gave  additional  and  prominent  features  to  the  seedling. 

To  apply  different  names  to  seedlings  originating 
from  the  same  seed-capsule  is  an  insult  to  intelligence. 
Such  cases  have  happened,  but  should  be  objected  to  in 
the  most  outspoken  manner.  I  am  aware  though  of  the 
possibility  of  suppressed  characters,  of  missing  links 
occasionally  appearing,  in  which  case  their  existence 
should  be  put  before  scientists  to  be  properly  taken 
notice  of.  Such  plants  should  be  bought  up  by  botanic 
gardens  to  be  preserved  becoming  their  kind.  [I  speak 
of  one  case,  Cypripedium  medea  monstrosa — Ceres  later 
on].  What  I  am  alluding  to  in  general  is  such  dubbing 
of  bastards  as  Cpd.  Laforcadei  and  Barteti,  the  Jolibois 
annex  to  nomenclature,  the  whole  rigmarole  of  Reichen- 
bach  about  the  set  of  Warner's  hybrids  herded  under 
the  rubric  of  Cpd.  calophyllum,  or  Sander's  salvation- 
army-lot  of  daily-fresh-to-order  bastards. 

If  reverse  crosses  are  displaying  features  entitling 
them  to  recognition,  accord  it  to  them,  but  only  as  vari- 
eties of  the  antecedent. 

If  you  meet  with  obscure  crosses,  be  it  that  the  ex- 
hibitor was  not  concerned  in  their  origin,  or  be  it  that 
a  stray  seedling  reaches  the  flowering  stage,  or  be  it  that 
the  person  growing  the  plant  was  not  of  the  caring  kind: 
refuse  them  recognition  from  the  very  outset.  Compare 
their  description  with  anything  already  recorded,  and 
if  any  ways  admissible,  order  them  under  such  lines. 
It  may  happen  though  that  the  plant  is  remarkable  for 


18  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

one  point  or  other,  so  glaring  as  to  deserve  attention: 
then  admit  it,  christen  it,  and  watch  for  every  plant 
which  may  be  recorded  later  on  displaying  a  character 
similar  to  the  one  given  thus  recognition.  In  such  case, 
do  not  grant  the  newcomer  specific  rank,  but  subdue  its 
claim  for  originality  under  the  title  of  the  one  given  a 
previous  certificate,  the  clamor  of  the  originator  of  the 
bastard  notwithstanding. 

If  a  cross  has  been  given  the  name  formed  by  com- 
bining the  terms  of  his  parents' — no  matter  whether  it 
has  been  done  rightly  or  wrongly  according  to  botanic 
usage — uphold  the  name.  If  Cpd.  Javanico-Spicerianum 
is  established,  do  not  try  and  rechristen  it  lutescens 
(what  for  all  I  know  may  have  been  done  unconsciously). 
Remember  that  it  is  the  rule  of  botanists  when  joining 
such  names,  to  place  the  pollen  parent  first.  But  though 
it  is  more  than  desirable  to  adhere  to  such  usage,  it  is 
not  of  such  piercing  effect  as  to  warrant  a  rechristening 
of  the  material  already  known  as  interfering  with  such 
rule.  Sometimes  the  reverse  is  perfectly  identical.  It 
can  be  suggested  that  we  deal  with  natural  hybrids  also 
and — unless  proven  by  repetition  in  actual  experiment — 
their  parentage,  though  admittedly  the  one  given  in 
joined  name,  leaves  still  room  for  speculation  as  to 
which  was  the  seed-bearing  parent. 

Bigeneric  hybrids  claim  a  place  of  their  own.  If  we 
recognize  Laelia  and  Cattleya,  and  join  either  with  any 
orchid,  we  must  uphold  the  difference  of  their  progeny 
and  create  a  new  class  for  each  group.  Do  not  admit 
distinctness  in  generic  rank  to  the  reverse  cross,  but 
make  his  seedlings  subservient  to  the  class  already  estab- 
lished. This  rule  should  stand  even  if  such  characters 
as  the  difference  in  the  pollen-masses  of  Laelia  and 
Cattleya  should  be  entirely  obliterated;  it  should  be  up- 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  19 

held,  if  for  no  other   reason,  for  the  convenience  with 
which  their  kind  may  be  picked  out  and  classified. 

The  clearness  of  our  system  will  be  materially  inter- 
fered with  as  soon  as  we  engage  secondary  crosses  for 
our  operation.  How  our  speculations  on  the  possibili- 
ties illustrated  in  the  case  of  Cpd.  insigne  X  barbatum 
can  become  fallible,  that  is  obvious  to  all  those  in  daily 
contact  with  the  products  of  cross-fertilization.  Such 
cases  are  not  rare  now,  and  will  become  more  trouble- 
some frequent  the  more  complete  the  ranks  of  our  army 
of  hybrids  get  to  be. 

As  soon  as  secondary  hybrids  are  employed,  their  off- 
springs will  lose  so  many  of  the  original  characteristics 
that  they  never  should  be  allowed  to  go  forward  as 
christened  individuals,  but  should  be  sunk  in  names 
already  established,  though  the  fact  of  their  creation 
and  the  reasons  for  their  subordination  should  be 
chronicled.  We  have  not  yet  entered  the  time  when  we 
will  be  bothered  with  tertiary  and  quartery  hybrids. 
But  when  we  are,  it  is  then  that  an  orchid  committee 
will  be  of  service,  a  conditio  sine  qua  non.  The  most 
glaring  instances,  so  far  as  I  know,  are  the  crosses  of 
Selenipedium  caudatum  X  longifolium.  The  first  cross 
of  that  kind  received  the  name  Spd.  grande,  the  variety 
Roezlii  of  longifolium  having  served  as  one  parent.  We 
are  made  acquainted  later  on  with  the  Spd.  macro- 
chilum,  the  result  of  crossing  caudatum  Lindenii  with 
longifolium.  Of  course,  we  are  forced  to  reduce  this 
cross  to  varietal  rank,  the  two  species  having  been  em- 
ployed previously.  Now  comes  Mr.  Holmes,  the  culti- 
vator of  the  orchid  treasures  of  the  late  Mr.  Geo.  Hardy, 
and  introduces  to  us  his  Selenipedium  Hardyanum. 
Spd.  caudatum  and  Ainsworthii  x  were  the  producers 
of  his  plant.  The  report  of  the  orchid  committee  of 


20  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

the  Royal  Horticultural  Society  of  London  (Oct.  18,  '92.) 
states  its  "great  resemblance  to  macrochilum."  The 
article  dealing  with  the  exhibits  of  the  Royal  Botanical 
Show  at  Manchester,  says  right  out  "synonym  with 
Spd.  macrochilum"  (Gard.  Chron.,  May  27,  '93).  And, 
looking  at  a  paragraph  (Gard.  Chron.,  Dec.  31,  '92),  we 
learn  "  positively  the  same  as  that  raised  by  Messrs. 
Veitch,  of  Chelsea."  And  in  the  meeting  of  the  R.  H.  S. 
of  Jan.  17,  '93,  we  have  before  us  Spd.  Penelaus  raised 
from  crossing  caudatum  Lindenii  with  (Ainsworthii) 
calurum  x.  What  is  that  but  a  variety  of  Hardyanum, 
and  this  same  Hardyanum  is  "  positively  the  same  as 
macrochilum." 

Cases  like  the  foregoing  are  matters  to  be  decided  by 
an  authority,  as  all  the  committees  called  together  *'  on 
orchid  nomenclature  "  have  been  flat  failures.  I  am  not 
in  a  position  to  decide  those  questions,  being  too  far  re- 
moved from  the  center  of  orchid  cultivation  to  have  a 
clear  insight  for  final  opinion.  Those  of  you  who  are 
in  such  a  quandary,  apply  to  Mr.  Rolfe,  of  the  Orchid 
Review,  and  submit  your  case.  Remember  that  it  is  not 
well  possible  for  your  orchid  committee  to  combine  all 
the  knowledge  required  for  such  specialties  in  your  ranks 
to  guarantee  correctness  and  uniformity  for  the  subjects 
under  question. 

Taking  secondary  hybrids  in  general,  do  not  allow  any 
of  those  which  contain  more  than  three  quarters  of  the 
blood  of  one  species  to  figure  as  named  hybrids.  Cast 
them  into  the  lots  where  their  seven-eighths  blood  be- 
longs, knowing  how  immensely  variable  each  and  every 
species  is,  if  you  only  take  the  trouble  to  find  it  out.  If 
you  cross  Spd.  longifolium  with  cardinale  x  you  come 
about  as  near  to  Sedenii  as  need  be  to  shear  them  over 
one  comb.  To  name  the  cross  of  Calanthe  (Sedenii  x 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  21 

X  Veitchiix),  Florence  is  absurd,  and  many  more  cases 
like  this  can  be  cited.  Such  should  not  happen  any 
more  in  future,  and  should  be  suppressed  if  forced  upon 
the  orchid  growers. 

What  1  did  in  Classifying. 

My  arrangement  of  the  list  is  so  plain  that  no  explana- 
tion is  called  for.  I  have  followed  the  rules  laid  down 
above,  and  handled  the  material  on  hand  without  creat- 
ing any  new  names.  I  let  the  established  ones  pass  re- 
view and  list  them  according  to  their  qualifications. 

If  a  hybrid  was  mentioned  as  having  been  raised,  and 
nothing  but  the  parentage  was  given,  it  is  entered  as 
found,  and  thus  indexed. 

If  the  seed-bearing  plant  was  mentioned  as  such,  I 
have  marked  it  in  every  case.  If  the"  cross  in  question 
was  repeated  at  some  other  place,  and  is  arranged  by 
me  in  the  proper  line,  I  have  again  noted  which  of  the 
parents  was  the  seed-bearing  plant,  provided  such  came 
to  my  knowledge.  If  I  say  "also  raised  by  so-and-so," 
it  means  that  the  same  parentage  was  used  at  that  time, 
whatever  it  was  in  the  first  case.  If  no  sex  was  marked 
in  the  first  instance,  it  is  to  be  understood  that  I  am  not 
acquainted  either  with  the  sexes  used  for  the  duplicated 
cross,  provided  I  have  not  stated  otherwise. 

As  I  have  recorded  all  crosses  coming  to  my  knowl- 
edge, even  if  they  did  not  reach  the  flowering  stage  at 
the  time  of  registering,  my  list  contains  already  material 
with  which  we  may  meet  again  on  future  occasions.  It 
must  be  remembered,  though,  that  such  crosses  are  not 
indexed  so  as  not  to  interfere  with  the  crosses  known 
under  the  joint-names.  I  considered  it  wise  to  take 
cognizance  of  those  hybrids  nearing  the  time  of  their 


22  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

coming  of  age,  to   partly  offset  any  efforts  of  renaming 
them. 

The  only  times  that  I  have  altered  names  attributed 
to  hybrids  were  those  of  which  their  record  stood  in 
direct  opposition  to  their  name  and  would  lead  to 
misapprehensions.  As  long  as  no  plan  has  been  agreed 
upon  to  have  secondary  hybrids,  which  revert  back  to 
either  pollen  or  seed-bearing  plant,  arranged  in  a  differ- 
ent manner,  I  did  not  feel  justified  in  casting  thus 
hybrids  with  seven-eights  blood  of  one  kind  to  the  con- 
trolling parent.  Still  I  believe  this  to  be  the  best  plan, 
and  by  looking  over  the  number  of  hybrids  related  to 
Spd.  Sedenii,  it  becomes  obvious  that  ere  long  we  will 
be  forced  to  proceed  upon  such  rule.  But  I,  with  the 
first  attempt  to  classify  the  hybrids  of  orchids,  keep  on 
terra  jirma,  if  for  no  other  reason  for  that  of  avoiding  at- 
tacks upon  my  work.  Whatever  criticism  may  be  called 
forth  by  this  proposition,  I  will  gladly  rearrange  in  the 
supplement  of  next  year's  record  what  may  be  deemed 
most  acceptable.  Hoping  that  this  my  discussion  will 
call  for  further  and  wider  debate,  I  put  together  the 
cases  which  I  changed.  If  the  authors  of  the  following 
hybrids  attempted  to  make  an  arrangement  on  such 
lines,  they  should  have  stated  it  at  the  time  of  issuing 
the  certificates  of  birth  in  writing  the  descriptions. 
They  have  not  done  so,  and  to  do  away  with  those  per- 
plexing cases  I  cut  their  names  in  two  which,  luckily, 
in  no  case  interferes  with  previous  nomenclature.  They 
are 
Cypripedium  (Crossianum)  Castle  Hill. 

(callosum)  sublaeve,  syn.  Siamense. 
Selenipedium  (macrochilum)  gigaiiteum — not  to  be  taken 

for  Cypripedium  giganteum. 
Thunia  (Veitchiana)  superba.

Seven  more  such  contradictiones  in  adjectum  happen 
to  be  synonyms  of  previously  established  hybrids  and 
should  be  engrossed  by  them.  They  are  the  Cypripedia 
marmorophyllum  superbum  syn.  Parksianum,  villosum 
violaceum  syn.  Germinianum,  Haynaldianum  Mdlle. 
Clotilde'  syn.  Clotilde  Moens,  Harrisianum  robustum

syn.  Marguerite  Mantin,  Dauthieri  latifolium  syn. 
Alfred  Bleu,  and  Ddr.  splendidissimum  illustre  syn.

Cpd.  modestum  (Harrisianum  x  X  tonsum)  raised  by 
Grey,  claims  priority  to  Sander's  cross  of  that  name 
from  (purpuratum  X  Io  x),  and  to  signify  in  its  name 
the  origin,  and  to  also  brand  it  as  the  only  one  inter-

What  kind  of   Names  should   we  apply  to 
Orchid  Hybrids? 

A  name  is  an  expression  put  up  for  convenience  in 
usage,  or  rather  is  supposed  to  be  such.  That  one  nation 
has  its  people's  tongues  moulded  in  a  different  way  from 
another  is  a  fact  not  to  be  denied  nor  to  be  quarreled 
over.  Pronounce  it  to  suit  yourself,  even  if  you  cause 
your  neighbor's  lips  to  ache  with  the  words  of  ridicule 
pressing  upon  them.  We  gardeners  are  cosmopolites 
more  than  any  other  artisans,  and  being  educated  be- 
sides we  adapt  ourselves  to  a  good  many  terms.  But  let 
us  be  spared  such  mouthful  of  Greek  like  we  have 
inherited  from  Reichenbach  films.  Knowing  him  as 
well  as  I  do,  I  feel  satisfied  he  tried  to  force  his  unap- 
proached  education  upon  us.  There  have  to  be  some 
Solons  amongst  us;  we  can  not  all  be  fools.  But  the 


24  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

links  between  the  two  are  wonderfully  easy  to  trace. 
And  then  again  such  ladles  full  of  molasses  of  personal 
flattery  as  are  dished  up  to  us  from  such  striders  as 
Sander  &  Co.,  they  turn  the  stomach  of  any  man  with 
an  every  day  constitution.  An  orchid  hybrid  is  a  bas- 
tard after  all,  and  most  of  them  so  far  retain  the  odor 
of  illegitimacy  as  long  as  they  show  a  flower  to  look  at. 
Since  the  days  of  Dr.  Lindley  it  is  against  good  taste 
to  attach  a  deserving  collector's  name  to  a  decent  orchid; 
that  would  make  a  plant  unsalable;  there  would  be 
11  nothing  in  it."  Please,  those  who  are  performing  the 
acts  of  christening  these  foundlings,  do  not  consider 
the  name  of  a  gallant  collector  the  proper  noun  to  at- 
tach to  a  characterless  hybrid.  To  feed  them  with  the 
swill  of  obsolete  bastards  is  adding  insult  to  the  injury 
done  to  most  of  them  every  day  of  their  life.  Such 
idiocities  as  to  attach  names  as  Calantha  vestita  Cornelius 
Vanderbilt  to  a  hybrid  which  at  best  is  no  vestita,  and 
then,  such  common  rubbish  as  now  these  days  every 
fourth-class  gardener  can  raise  by  the  box  full,"  to  be  be- 
spoken", that  looks  to  me  like  jeering  at  the  man  whose 
name  has  been  used,  and  as  an  effort  to  perpetuate  the 
contempt  which  has  been  put  into  such  act  by  the  savant. 
Such  footprints  in  the  trail  of  science  lead  to  the  very  same 
road  which  "The  Professor"  used  to  pace,  and  end  in 
the  orchid  junk-shop  of  the  "Xenia,"  the  garlic  odor 
of  which  refutes  their  xenia  character  and  verifies  the 
expected,  when  in  one  number  only  "three  of  the  four 
species  described  must  take  the  ranks  of  synonyms." 
Of  course  personalities  of  "  Sanderianum  "  and  "  Wend- 
landianum"  have  to  pop  up  from  their  mixed  ranks  and 
remind  us  of  the  fact  that  when  people  can  not  gain 
glory  from  unlooked-for  quarters,  they  pick  the  dried  up 
laurels  from  their  spice-chests  and  decorate  each  other. 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  25 

Messrs.  Veitch  have  set  a  shining  example  when 
naming  their  select  lot  of  seedlings  after  objects  of 
fiction  and  mythology.  Latin  has  been  the  language  of 
science  and  is  to  remain  such.  Those  hybrids  which 
received  names  after  the  fashion  of  scientists,  well  and 
good,  they  have  to  stand.  But  let  us  avoid  such  expres- 
sions further  on. 

When  acknowledging  established  varieties,  be  guided 
to  some  extent  by  certain  authorities,  say  Veitch's 
Manual,  though  I  myself  have  preferred  to  disagree  with 
several  of  them  as  I  mention  further  on.  Do  not  attach 
immense  importance  to  such  trifling  distinctions  as 
some  of  your  long-way's-down  species  exhibit.  You 
name  them  by  the  big  noses  and  drawn-out-of-shape 
faces  which  they  please  to  exhibit,  and  because  they  are 
different  in  such  ugly  characters,  do  not  persuade  your- 
self to  believe  that  they  are  pretty  and  worth  preserving. 

About  joined  names,  1  have  had  occasion  to  speak 
before. 

Do  not  reuse  names  already  established  as  synonyms. 
Once  synonym,  always  synonym,  is  a  rule  accepted  by 
so  many  that  it  is  rejectable  to  invite  its  application. 
Still,  do  not  try  and  rename  those  you  encounter.  Life 
is  short  at  best,  and  our  fraction  of  gray  matter  too 
much  employed  already  now  to  call  for  further  engage- 
ment. Avoid  cases  like  Cpd.  Simonii  and  Siemonii. 

But,  above  all,  do  not  forget  your  x  sign  to  mark  the 
plant  in  question  as  hybrid.  The  Orchid  Review  has 
applied  it  before  the  species  name  throughout.  Much 
as  I  like  to  follow  that  journal's  example,  I  set  it  after 
the  word.  Reichenbach,  deceased,  I  understand,  pro- 
posed two  and  three,  to  mark  secondary,  etc.  Lucky  for 
him  to  depart  life  ere  he  would  be  obliged  to  employ  as 
many  as  twenty.  By  the  time  our  mule-breeders  got

that  far,  he  would  have  had  a  fair  sized  cemetery  along 
every  one  of  those  little  curiosities.  The  modern  art  of 
naming  lets  us  earthliiigs  escape  with  a  single  cross,  but 
not  without  that.  If  anybody  should  be  tempted  to 
remark  that  I  have  not  followed  the  rule  throughout  this 
book,  I  neglect  it  only  then  when  it  is  plain  from  the 
sentence  that  I  speak  about  a  hybrid.  Remember,  too, 
that  I  am  one  of  those  dancers  that  have  to  pay  the 
piper,  and  I  have  had  to  pay  enough  for  extra  type, 
without  laying  in  an  unnecessary  stock  of  crosses.  I 
do  not  see  any  reason  whatever,  though,  for  burdening 
bigeneric  hydrids  with  a  cross.  Ever  since  Dr.  Masters 
established  his  Philageria,  everybody  concerned  knows 
that  a  hybrid  is  spoken  about  as  soon  as  you  pronounce 
a  plant  to  be  a  Catlselia,  a  Zygolax,  etc.  To  affix  to  them 
a  x  is  nothing  but  an  uncalled  for  display  of  wisdom, 
and  burdensome  at  that. 

We  have  grown  into  the  habit  of  adopting  the  most 
cumbersome  conglomerates  of  names  for  bigenerics, 
without  uttering  a  word  of  objection.  It  may  be  the 
rule  of  scientists  to  express  in  their  combination-name 
as  fully  as  possible  how  the  plants  in  question  originate; 
but  I  want  to  enter  a  very  urgent  claim  for  convenience's 
sake.  We  have  to  learn  every  name,  good  or  bad,  diffi- 
cult or  easy  to  adopt.  Hundreds  of  roads  lead  to  the 
seat  of  St.  Peter,  and  if  we  are  obliged  to  make  our  way 
towards  it,  why  not  take  a  ticket  for  the  most  direct 
route,  the  most  convenient?  If  I  recollect  right,  it  was 
Mr.  *H.  N.  Ridley,  then  of  the  Museum  of  Natural  His- 
tory, South  Kensington,  who  proposed  at  the  Orchid 
Conference  (sic!)  at  Manchester,  the  name  of  Catlselia 
for  hybrids  between  Cattleya  and  Lselia.  That  is  as 
good  and  convenient,  as  euphonious  and  significant  as 
Dr.  Masters'  classic  Philageria.  The  scientists  use  these

names  but  once,  where  we  will  have  to  deal  with  them  a 
hundred  times.  They  owe  us  the  consideration  of  con- 
venience, and  if  they  deny  us  such  blessing,  let  us  re- 
volt and  rule  ourselves.  I,  therefore,  propose  the  follow- 
ing, besides  Mr.  Ridley's  Catlselia  for  (Cattleya  x  Lselia). 
Have  Cattleya  and  Laelia  been  crossed  with  Epidendrum, 
Epileya  and  Epilselia  resp.;  with  Sophronites,  Sophro- 
leya  and  Sophrolselia  resp.;  with  Brassavola,  Brassaleya 
and  Brassalselia  resp.;  with  Sobralia,  Sobraleya  and 
Sobralselia  resp.  The  cross  of  Phaius  and  Calanthe 
name  Phalanthe;  of  Zygopetalum  and  Colax,  Zygolax; 
of  Cypripedium  and  Selenipedium,  Cysepedium,  etc. 

The  assault  upon  nomenclature  by  the  French  savant 
who  committed  the  horrible  Miltoniopsis  (do  not  let  us 
mention  his  name)  shows  at  once  how  little  understand- 
ing and  discernment  that  man  possessed  for  the  object 
in  question. 

Looking  at  the  legion  of  names  applied  to  such  com- 
mon hybrids  as  nitens,  Measuresianum,  Harrisianum, 
cenanthum,  Ashburtonise,  and  what  else  their  lot 
amounts  to,  I  do  not  feel  like  blaming  those  who  chris- 
tened their  children.  Every  crow  is  entitled  to  the 
belief  that  her  squabs  display  the  deepest  black  of  any. 
But  as  soon  as  they  try  to  burden  us  with  the  products 
of  their  fertility,  we  object  to  their  rabble.  Those 
hybrids  were  in  reach  of  possibility  of  all  those  who 
did  not  possess  any  other  plants  to  parent  with.  And 
poorly  as  the  raisers  of  those  hybrids  were  placed,  the 
next  degree  of  richness  in  collections  were  but  some- 
what better.  They  all  had  an  excuse  so  far  for  dubbing 
their  flock,  but  from  this  date  they  should  be  refused 
recognition.  Simplify  the  nomenclature,  and  a  great 
step  of  advance  will  have  been  made. 


28  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

A  Word   to   the   Orchid    Committee   of   the 
Royal    Hort.    Soc.  of   London. 

It  is  to  that  body  of  men  that  we  have  to  look  for  en- 
forcement of  rules  which  may  be  adopted  and  endorsed 
by  the  orchid-growing  fraternity.  If  you  can  agree 
upon  a  line  of  proceeding,  subject  to  it  every  hybrid 
which  may  come  before  you  for  judgment.  It  must  be 
hard  for  a  grower,  after  having  raised  a  hybrid  Cattleya 
in  years  of  care  and  watchfulness,  and  glorying  over  it 
at  the  time  of  flowering  by  attaching  his  illustrious 
initials  to  it,  to  be  told  then  in  cold  language,  that  such 
plums  have  been  picked  long  before  he  got  to  the  top. 
But  law  is  law,  even  if  applied  to  such  nonentity  as  the 
boldest  of  the  gorgeous  orchid  hybrids.  It  also  should 
be  remembered  that  when  a  name  has  been  attached  to 
a  plant  once,  it  has  claim  to  existence,  if  it  be  only 
under  the  obscuring  cover  of  synonymy.  If  you  cannot 
relieve  us  from  the  Oregon  boot  we  drag  about  already 
now,  at  least  avoid  adding  to  its  burden; 

A  Word  to  the   Raisers  of  Orchid  Hybrids. 

The  first  orchid  hybrids  were  raised  in  the  early  six- 
ties, and  they  were  but  scattered  pioneers  of  the  army 
which  has  been  following  their  appearance  in  endless 
number  ever  since.  The  hybrids  of  Cypripedia  only, 
that  is  to  say  the  actual  crosses  perfected  (not  to  count 
the  aggregate  numbers  of  seedlings  raised),  has  reached 
the  embarrassing  number  of  one  thousand.  If  it  was 
nothing  but  the  idea  of  perfecting  a  cross  between 
orchids  which  induced  the  patrons  of  those  nestors 
among  the  multitude  to  raise  that  advance-guard,  the 
.appearance  of  Selenipedium  Sedenii  taught  us  at  once 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  29 

that  we  might  be  moved  by  other  reasons  when  crossing 
our  orchids.  We  learned  that  the  health  of  our  cross, 
the  vigor  of  its  system  was  more  fit  to  endure  the  treat- 
ment we  offered  it  than  the  sickly  species  used  in  their 
parentage — exceptions  as  there  may  occur.  I  admit 
that  we  have  made  wonderful  progress  in  the  culture  of 
our  orchids,  collected  from  so  entirely  different  sur- 
roundings, and  brought  into  the  narrow  frames  which 
we  make  their  new  home.  But  need  I  recall  the  fact 
that  we  are  far  from  managing  a  Cattleya  citrina? 
that  the  whole  section  of  the  Cyrtochila  Oncidia  are 
this  very  day  as  much  of  strangers  to  us  as  they  were  a 
dozen  years  ago?  Let  that  suffice  to  intimate  that  we 
ought  to  pick  out  every  poor  grower  amongst  our  pets, 
and  cross-fertilize  him.  Another  point  at  which  we  aim 
in  cross-fertilization  is  the  improvement  in  co.lor  and 
shape  of  flower.  Do  not  be  deceived  by  the  great  efforts 
made  by  those  firms  which  have  brought  to  us  the  origi- 
nal plants  from  the  tropics.  Their  glory  may  be  daz- 
zling and  seem  worth  the  trouble  and  the  dangers 
endured  by  those  poor  collectors  who  went  out  in 
search  of  our  treasures.  But  those  regions  have  a  limit, 
and  while  the  last  group  of  islands  in  the  Australias  is 
about  to  be  ransacked  by  the  greed  of  the  importers: 
the  steady  gain  of  the  home  cultivator  has  invaded  their 
ranks,  and  the  time  will  come  when  we  appreciate  higher 
the  products  of  home-industry. 

I  mention  that  the  aggregate  number  of  distinct 
crosses  raised  up  to  date  is  nearing  two  thousand.  I 
need  not  state  that  all  the  work  done  so  far  has  been 
to  a  very  great  extent  of  a  speculative  kind.  Think 
that  so  paltry  a  cross  as  Cypripedium  Harrisonianum 
could  receive  almost  twenty  different  names,  cenanthum 
twenty-five!  Every  one  of  their  raisers  thought  his

cross  momentous  enough  to  be  christened  as  the  lord  of 
a  manor.  I  think  it  is  time  that  we  consider  a  hybrid 
among  orchids  as  so  common  an  appearance  that  we 
pass  it  over  without  special  ado,  unless  it  be  a  great 
improvement  on  what  we  already  have  on  hand.  What 
do  our  results  amount  to  at  best?  Cypripedium,  the 
genus  most  easily  raised  from  seed,  has  been  prostituted 
with  such  a  multitude  of  rabbling  bastards  that  it  takes 
the  eye  and  taste  of  a  high  mind  to  keep 'above  them. 
Remember  that  your  most  noble  genus  of  Odontoglossum 
is  so  far  in  the  back  ranks  of  your  hybrids,  that  a  few 
lines  will  mention  all  you  have  perfected  so  far.  Im- 
press upon  your  mind  that  your  success  in  hybridizing 
has  been  so  entirely  one-sided,  so  minute  in  regard  to 
the  difficulties  awaiting  you  in  future  work,  that  it  will 
never  do  to  rest  satisfied  with  the  little  accomplished. 
My  list  may  be  late  in  making  its  appearance,  but  it  is 
early  yet  if  we  pause  a  second  to  contemplate  what 
wonders  are  within  the  scope  of  our  zeal.  Consider 
only  that  stock  of  hybrids  which  you  boast  of!  Cpd. 
Morganise,  the  pride  of  your  collections,  how  often  has 
it  been  repeated?  Why  was  it  that  not  dozens  and 
dozens  of  you  attempted  the  very  same  as  soon  as  the 
world  of  orchid  growers  was  on  tip-toe  about  that  wonder 
of  wonders?  How  many  Spd.  Schrcederae  do  you  call 
your  own?  Why  not  have  your  Croesus  a  whole  stock  of 
self  fertilized  Cpd.  Stonei  platyteenium  coming  on? 
Where  is  the  man  who  crossed  Philippinense  and  hirsu- 
tissimum? — My  list  can  be  a  guide,  to  tell  at  a  glance  what 
has  been  accomplished,  and  what  combinations  might 
be  entered  into.  Of  course  we  should  not  forget  that 
every  grower  of  orchids  is  dependent  from  the  extent  of 
species  in  his  possession.  But  you  can  mail  pollen  to 
assist  each  other.  And  is  there  a  large  collection  which 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  31 

does  not  engage  its  care-taker  in  hybridizing?  He 
should  contract  for  hybrids  grander  than  those  we  add 
at  present  by  the  legion  to  those  already  in  existence. 
Pursue  your  task  with  thought,  and  aim  at  raising  the 
best,  and  that  often.  Thus  you  have  an  opportunity  to 
attach  a  reputation  to  your  name  'which  everybody  will 
be  ready  to  attribute  to  you  if  deserving  of  it! 

Remember  also  that  the  scientists  are  interested  in 
your  work.  Our  knowledge  is  but  fractional  in  many 
points,  and  if  you  hear  about  a  puzzling  problem  arising, 
lend  your  assistance  and  solve  such  problems. 

If  you  have  on  hand  seedlings  which  you  think  de- 
serve weeding  out  from  among  the  bed  of  idolized  pets, 
do  not  murder  the  unfortunate  foundlings.  Remember 
that  hybridizing  is  the  greatest  step  towards  acclimatiz- 
ing those  strangers  in  our  greenhouses,  and  that  every 
grower  in  the  cut-flower  trade  will — if  he  pays  attention 
to  what  is  to  his  best — be  only  to  glad  to  purchase  your 
bastard.  They  are  easier  to  grow.  They  have  but  rudi- 
mentary wants  as  compared  with  the  perfected  species, 
and  like  the  long-eared  mule  of  our  mountains  lives  on 
the  bark  of  the  tree  we  chop  down  for  him  when  pitch- 
ing tent;  so  will  your  e very-day-face  bastard  live  on  the 
scrapings  of  the  barnyard  and  grow  like  stocks  and 
jelly-flowers. 

Futhermore  let  me  entreat  you  to  keep  track  of  your 
work.  Take  notes  and  be  truthfully  strict  about  what 
you  observe.  You  have  but  a  faint  idea  how  many  are 
interested  in  your  work,  and  it  is  impossible  for  you  to 
anticipate  what  the  result  of  your  effort  may  turn  out 
to  be.  The  law  of  atavisrnus  may  play  the  queerest 
pranks  with  your  plantlets,  and  confront  you  with  results 
that  overshadow  the  astonishment  of  a  cuckoo's  mother. 
Let  us  learn  how  long  a  time  was  required  to  land  your

seedlings  at  the  flowering  stage,  and  teach  us  about  the 
irregularities  which  may  puzzle  you  on  the  way.  You 
gardeners  are  the  right  hands  of  the  botanists,  whether 
the  latter  own  up  to  it  or  not. 

A  Word  to  the  Patrons  of   Orchid   Culture. 

With  you,  gentlemen,  rests  the  problem  of  placing 
our  orchid  culture  on  a  high  or  a  low  standard.  You 
guard  the  coin  to  pay  for  the  work  performed,  and  you 
supply  the  trading  grower  with  the  sinews  to  carry  on 
his  experiments.  Often  as  you  have  been  taken  in  with 
plants  which  were  not  by  any  means  what  they  were  repre- 
sented to  be,  you  have  now,  in  regard  to  hybrids,  the 
means  on  hand  to  watch  the  silver-tongued,  glib-mouthed 
trader  when  he  paints  unto  the  bastard  of  his  propa- 
gating beds  your  honorable  name.  With  all  respect  due 
to  those  whose  names  have  been  employed,  refuse  the 
use  of  your  letters  if  they  are  to  be  handled  indecently. 
By  the  time  we  receive  hybrids  bedecked  without  inter- 
ruption with  Ashworthii,  E.  Ashworth,  Ashworthiae, 
Ashworthianum,  the  man  who  employs  your  attention 
thus  thinks  very  little  of  you.  Wells,  Wellsiae,  WTellsi- 
ana,  Oweiiii,  Owenise,  Owenianum:  that  sounds  like  the 
reciting  of  the  first  lesson  in  Latin  by  a  little  shaver  who 
got  mixed  up  at  the  sight  of  the  threatening  switch.  If 
blue  blood  is  dragged  forth  to  be  made  the  laughing- 
stock of  scheming  traders,  ah  well,  who  looks  for  any- 
thing different!  If  we  were  raised  like  that  imbred  caste 
to  live  on  the  lying  flattery  of  hollow-boned  menials,  we 
would  be  vain-glorious  like  they.  We  could  not  tell  any 
more  whether  the  thousand  Odontoglossum  crispum  we 
bought  for  one  guinea  apiece  were  exchanged  behind 
our  backs  for  the  quick  repotted  smaller  size  than  the 


REVIEW    AND    INFERENCES.  33 

seller  of  Blenheim  pictures  was  able  to  find  out.  But 
if  you  are  a  man  of  that  class  which  earns  money  to 
own  it,  that  class  which  reverts  trade  and  figures  to  the 
channels  of  deserving  merit:  you  then  can  be  a  judge 
of  your  purchases  and  the  spirit  they  are  proffered  in. 
It  should  not  happen  to  you  when  the  governor  closes 
the  door  of  your  brougham  that  he  runs  back  to  the 
office  like  a  kid  and  burst  out:  "  By  god,  isn't  she  a 
cow?"  Such  the  repute  of  the  Red  Duchess  of  Hay- 
market-offensiveness.  People  raised  for  the  purpose  of 
exhibition  are  pompous  in  appearance,  like  the  fancy 
poultry  at  fairs;  but  good  for  nothing  else  than  to  fatten 
on  the  wheat  watered  with  our  brow's  sweating.  They 
flourish  on  being  fed  stories  of  the  thickest  webbing  of 
lies,  like  the  bosh  of  Eulophiella  discoveries  in  Mada- 
gascar. Cypripidiurn  lo  has  been  raised  only  once,  but 
if  you  acquire  the  gall  of  putting  a  couple  of  dozen 
grande,  splendidum,  gracillimum,  humbugianum  at  the 
tail  end  of  it,  you  find  Johns  and  Jacks  to  put  up  for  it. 
Another  kind  petition  to  those  generous  patrons  of 
orchid  culture.  In  the  noble  employ  which  you  pursue 
by  devoting  your  time  to  orchid  culture,  you  like  to  be, 
and  you  are,  discerned  from  the  rest  of  those  which  can 
spend  leisure  in  sportive  pursuit.  Does  it  occur  to  you 
that  the  man  earing  for  your  mind's  pleasure  is  likewise 
a  discernible  character?  There  is  not  a  profession  within 
reach  of  our  sun's  brightening  rays  which  enjoys  less 
eminence,  and  which  at  same  time  can  depend  on  less 
mutual  organization  and  protection,  than  the  multitude 
of  gardeners.  It  is  likewise  true  that  there  is  no  more 
noble  occupation  to  mind  or  body  than  gardening. 
None  requires  the  qualities  of  a  high-thinking,  deep- 
feeling  mind  more  than  gardening.  And  again,  there 
is  none  that  is  shunned  more  than  this  very  profession,

which  is  the  protector,  the  elevating  motor  of  your 
nation's  sincerity.  Laugh  at  me  if  you  like;  there  is 
nothing  in  this  world  that  can  wound  this  my  heart  to 
death.  Call  your  doctor,  your  medicus  a  more  noble 
aiming  man.  I  do  not  gainsay  it,  though  he  does  not 
control  his  subjects  like  we  do  ours.  But  there  is  no 
more  religious  training  a  human  being  can  be  subjected 
to  than  the  care  of  plants,  of  those  beings  closest  to  a 
person's  affection.  Why  do  you  celebrate  your  infant's 
birthday  by  decorating  with  flowers?  Why  do  you  select 
a  bud  to  lay  to  the  bosom  of  your  beloved?  Why  do 
you  value  higher  than  gold  and  myrrh  the  wreath  picked 
by  that  picture  of  innocence,  the  child  of  your  moun- 
tains? Why  do  you  put  a  myrtle  sprig  into  your  bride's 
locks?  Why  do  you  make  the  heart  of  your  husband 
bright  with  hope  when  he  finds  a  spray  of  only  the 
most  homely  of  flowers  on  his  desk?  Why  do  you  place 
before  the  window  of  your  invalid  friend  a  pot  with 
violet  or  snowdrop  to  cheer  his  wretched  days?  And 
why?  oh!  why  do  you  press  a  bunch  of  tear- wetted 
flowers  into  the  hand  of  the  one-  whose  features  you  are 
about  to  look  at  for  the  last  time? — Are  not  we  gardeners 
the  caretakers,  the  nurses,  the  doctors  of  those  objects, 
those  subjects?  Do  not  we  enable  you  to  enjoy  their 
cheering  presence  every  day  of  your  life?  Is  it  not  we 
who  take  up,  improve  and  perfect  those  plants  and 
flowers?  Where  is  the  home  that  can  do  without  the 
products  of  our  work,  our  skill,  our  art?  Take  a  man 
from  the  depth  of  wretchedness;  a  woman,  the  dirtiest 
hoodlum  woman,  from  whom  you  buy  a  buttonhole 
when  forcing  your  way  through  the  crowd  on  Thread- 
needle  Street:  you  can  touch  them  with  the  emblem  of 
life,  a  flower.  I  have  worked  in  your  houses.  I  have 
studied  in  your  colleges.  Rich  I  was;  poor  I  became.

every  employer  of  a  gardener,  most  of  any  the  general 
run  of  nurserymen,  when  I  ask  him  to  devote  one  frac- 
tion of  an  hour  for  every  day  in  one  week  only  to  the 
condition  his  employee  is  in.  And,  returning  to  you, 
patrons  of  orchid  culture,  you  have  engaged  in  your 
service  the  cream  of  the  cultivating  branch  of  our  pro- 
fession. Every  plant  of  yours  needs  special  judgment, 
every  pot  different  treatment,  every  house  different

adaptation  to  contrary  conditions.  Do  you  pay  your 
man  anyways  near  what  he  ought  to  receive?  If  you 
value  your  plants  by  ciphers  of  three,  four  places,  how 
much  is  the  caring  of  them  worth  in  comparison?  Do 
not  answer  me  that  you  can  get  dozens  of  men  for  the 
part  of  one  that  you  employ.  You  know  with  me  that 
there  is  something  entirely  wrong  in  the  parceling  out 
of  this  world's  gifts,  and  if  it  is  perhaps  in  my  interest 
to  look  for  a  change,  it  may  be  in  yours  to  be  anxious 
about  a  continuation.  If  you  decide  thus,  you  give  the 
rope  around  our  necks  another  twist,  and  more  narrow 
than  before  will  be  the  crack  admitting  healthful  air 
into  our  systems. 

Out  on  the  porch  before  my  office  door' lies  my  dog; 
Prince  is  his  name,  and  princely  are  his  ways.  To 
enumerate  his  traits  would  be  imposing  upon  my 
readers'  time.  Let  it  suffice  with  the  statement  that 
he  is  as  intelligent  as  he  is  brave,  as  noble  as  he 
is  useful.  Yet  this  very  dog  was  raised  (by  the  man 
who  left  him  with  me  when  he  emigrated  to  a  worse 
country)  with  nothing  but  bran  and  scraps  falling 
off  the  table  of  a  batchelor  prospector  and  pioneer.  Not 
that  Prince  was  not  worth  any  better  food;  no,  it  was 
all  his  master  was  able  to  afford  for  the  companion  of 
his  lonely  life.  What  the  dog  is  amongst  animals,  that 
is  the  gardener  amongst  men:  his  most  faithful  com- 
panion, his  most  sincere  servant.  You  can  raise  either 
of  them  on  the  bran  of  your  wheat  or  on  the  scraps  of 
your  table;  they  are  grateful  and  thrive  under  such  con- 
ditions. But,  fellow-men  of  flesh  and  bone,  would  you 
face  your  dog  if  you  fed  him  thus?  Do  not  try  to  inform 
me  about  numerous  curs,  such  news  has  grown  stale 
already  with  the  linnets  on  my  roof.  In  the  town  which 
I  overlook  from  my  window  they  drop  occasionally  scraps

of  meat  with  an  addition  of  nux  vomica  for  the  canine 
curs.  But  while  the  human  curs  are  locked  up  by  decrees 
of  "civilization"  and  fed  at  the  expense  of  the  com- 
monwealth, hundreds  and  thousands  of  worthy  dogs, 
shepherd  dogs  of  intelligence,  have  to  subsist  on  bran 
and  soiled  scraps.  Your  gardeners,  nine  out  of  ten,  are 
amongst  them.  Like  my  Prince,  they  do  not  growl,  and 
do  not  leave  either  to  hunt  up  more  humane  masters, 
more  respected  occupations.  They  stay,  and  swear  by 
their  lords,  and  become  degraded,  until  they  are  unable 
to  recognize  the  lowness  of  their  position.  But  there  is 
a  number  of  bulldogs  and  bloodhounds  distributed  in. 
the  race  of  dogs.  They  do  not  only  set  an  example  by 
their  acts  of  freedom;  no,  they  intermix  in  breeding, 
too.  Dog  as  they  may  be,  dog  as  they  may  remain, 
be  not  surprised  if  on  the  day  of  reckoning  (which 
"  civilization  "  forces  upon  humanity)  the  very  serf  dog 
at  your  door  assumes  the  traits  which  up  to  then  you 
have  been  applying  to  him.  If  your  gardener  is  low 
enough  to  accept  from  the  nurseryman  the  tendered 
check  for  the  blackmailing  percentage  of  your  orchid 
purchase,  do  not  blame  him  if  he  feels  like  kissing  the 
hand  that  drops  that  crisp  note.  Blame  yourself;  nay, 
despise  yourself  for  having  helped  in  the  slow  process 
of  debauching  your  fellow-man's  manhood. — The  hand 
that  forks  the  manure  of  your  stable,  did  you  ever  touch 
it?  not  to  speak  about  pressing  it?  If  not,  try  the  ex- 
periment, and  do  not  get  paralized  if  it  dawns  upon  you 
in  the  most  glaring  of  all  sunrises  what  revolution  one 
electrifying  touch  can  produce.

A  word  to  those  I  am  under  obligation  to. 

We  have  been  subjected  to  the  most  contemptible 
treatment  from  the  "  Autocrat  from  Hamburg  "  for  such 
a  number  of  years,  that  we  had  to  rub  our  eyes  and  ask 
whether  all  this  was  true,  after  the  hero  was  deprived 
of  the  sheltering  robe  of  life.  I  hate  to  have  the  name 
of  kicking  dead  donkeys.  But  while  I  may  be  called 
guilty  of  dealing  in  poundmasters'  traits,  I  have  wit- 
nesses for  having  attempted  to  disrobe  rascals  in  science 
and  profession  ere  this  while  they  were  still  wielding 
the  murdering  cleaver  to  chop  whatever  did  not  stand 
in  humble  disgrace  the  administering  of  their  insults. 
Let  us  look  back  for  a  moment  and  contemplate  what 
this  H.  G.  Reichenbach  fil.  has  done  for  our  orchids. 
Did  he  not  die  and  leave  not  as  little  as  the  most  wretched 
handbook  to  guide  us  through  the  mess  which  he 
stirred  up?  Has  he  done  anything  but  name  species, 
plain  and  simple,  the  recognition  of  which  would  have 
been  easy  prey  for  any  student  who  could  have  examined 
the  material  usurped  by  him?  As  soon  as  it  came  to 
puzzling  objects,  Reichenbach  had  a  stunning  ability  in 
applying  the  trick  of  breaking  Gordian  knots.  Do  not 
challenge  me  for  proofs,  they  are  common  property,  and 
aside  from  them  I  have  a  whole  store  of  bunged-up 
private  ones,  the  odor  of  which  would  render  abashed 
the  effects  of  a  smashed  jug  of  bi-sulphide  of  carbon. 
A  man  who  has  to  take  refuge  to  registered  letters  only 
to  send  his  numbered  missives,  and  then  even  looks 
about  for  a  third  person  to  address  them  to,  his  soul 
must  have  a  hovel  in  the  black  of  depravity.  But  he 
did  not  know  that  pottingshed-boys  were  roasting  their 
bloaters  with  his  pages;  he  feared,  but  never  knew — it 
would  have  killed  him — that  his  leaves  of  criminal  docu-

merits  were  scattered  along  railroad  tracks,  the  amuse- 
ment of  those  who  studied  them  at  "  fresh  air  leisure," 
or  the  prey  of  fanning  winds  which  tried  to  scatter  the 
shame  to  hide  it  behind  hedges  and  roadsides.  The 
whole  accumulation  of  Reichenbach's  writing  was  not 
worth  the  articles  on  Catlselia  elegans  and  Schilleriana, 
which  the  author  of  the  Orchid  Review  spread  before 
us.  His  mixed  up  stuff  of  Bletia,  Barkeria,  Epiden- 
drum,  Leelia,  Schomburgkia,  Cattleya,  was  such  Irish 
stew  that  he  did  not  have  the  courage  to  swallow  it  him- 
self. His  contributions  to  the  orchid  conference  were 
simply  absurd.  He  may  have  worked  wonders  in  or- 
dering the  nomenclature  of  Bulbophyllum,  Eria,  and 
the  like  genera,  wonders  to  some,  but  perhaps  but  trifling- 
matters  to  those  versed  in  such  pages  of  our  botanic 
literature.  But  to  us,  who  are  confronted  every  day 
with  flowers  attractive  and  large,  we  come  across  his 
blunders  often  enough  to  place  their  author  where  he 
belongs.  The  drawings  which  he  has  forced  upon  o'ur 
orchid  bibliography  are  a  disgrace  to  the  century. 
And  his  conceit  uttered  with  every  expression  he  used — 
"  Qu'  on  nous  traite  de  meme  ?  "  Has  it  ever  occurred  to 
you,  the  subscriber  of  the  "  Reichenbachia,"  what 
offensive  trick  of  the  boldest  baseness  it  was  for  him  to 
undertake  such  publication?  As  a  rule  people  want  to 
be  dead  before  they  like  to  have  anybody  mention  their 
epitaph.  But  "post  equitem  sedet  atra  cura,"  thus  he 
dreaded,  and  fearing  to  fall  in  the  gutter  of  oblivion  to 
benefit  solely  through  decay,  he  gathered  in  all  the  self- 
made  glory  he  could  muster  and  caused  the  Reichen- 
bachia to  be  created  large  enough  to  cover  a  cadaver  of 
almost  any  size.  Thus  he  reckoned,  but  looked  out  at 
same  time  for  the  ringing  sound  of  Bank  of  England 
metal,  to  delight  and  satisfy  the  greedy  black  soul.  That

he  could  arrange,  he  could  contract  for,  but  the  dread  of 
those  ghouls — as  he  termed  them — hovering  over  his 
herbarium,  that  drove  the  sweet  blessing  of  peace  from 
his  eye-lids.  What  was  it,  this  act  of  his  to  solder  up 
the  treasures  committed  to  his  care?  Call  it  criminal, 
call  it  foolish,  call  it  small  or  call  it  dirty:  it  stands  there 
monumentalizing  the  most  contemptible  act  of  any 
scientist  that  ever  could  be  committed.  Let  us  be  mer- 
ciful with  him,  let  us  call  it  childish,  and  let  us  condemn 
those  who  accepted  the  undignified,  sordid  duty  of 
carrying  out  his  wish.  He  feared  his  scientific  brethren 
might  turn  out  to  be  above  such  trickery;  and  well 
guarded  against  such  rejection  was  the  iron-clad  will. 
They  should  have  refused  xand  refused  again,  that  con- 
clave of  adherents  of  international  science,  until  the  lot 
reverted  where  it  belonged,  to  the  island  whence  the 
bulk  of  material  came  under  his  care.  It  hurt  me  at 
the  time  to  be  forced  to  believe  that  magnanimity 
amongst  scientists  was  not  as  great  by  far  as  it  might, 
as  it  should  be.  He  hoped  we  could  not  get  along  with- 
out it,  and  would  clamor  over  the  loss  he  afflicted  us 
with. 

"  But  I  tell  thee,  grinning  spirit  of  the  deep,  the  day

to  sadly  experience?  If  they  gainsay  what  I  preach  and 
maintain,  poor  fellows!  they  do  not  know  the  strings 
that  played  the  manikins.  What  have  you,  what  has  the 
world  heard  about  a  Riemann,  about  a  Fcerstermann, 
about  a  Bartholomaeus,  about  an  Arnold,  about  a  Ker- 
bach,  about  a  Micholitz,  about  a  Schroeder,  about  a 
Roebelen,  about  a  Hennings,  who  have  been  sacrificed 
to  fill  the  coffers  of  squandering  extravagance?  to  pay 
the  whims  of  idiotic  trickery  and  tricky  idiotcy?  If 
your  bones  bleach  in  the  sun,  and  not  a  stone  has  been 
rolled  over  the  shallow  graves  of  some  of  you  martyrs, 
I,  for  one,  will  turn  the  glare  of  a  torch,  the  brightest 
torch  aflame,  the  torch  of  truth  upon  your  white  bones. 
Fools  you  were,  gardeners  of  course,  picked  to  suit  the

bidden  the  use  of  a  pen  to  write  up  your  experience 
under  the  ban  of  digrace  at  the  time  that  you  were 
ruined  for  anything  but  the  lingering  of  a  collector's 
death.  I  have  not  sniffed  where  I  had  no  business  to, 
though  I  do  not  claim  to  be  listed  a  colonel  for  the  legion 
of  the  goody  good.  But  if  things  are  dumped  before 
your  eyes,  if  facts  are  thrust  under  your  nose,  where  is 
the  man  that  does  not  notice  them?  And  aside  from 
that,  a  personal  grievance  served  to  sharpen  the  scent 
to  detect  the  direction  whence  a  stab  towards  my  back 
was  aimed  from. 

Enough,  de  mortuis  nihil  nisi  veritas,  and  for  that 
matter  about  the  living  likewise.  It  is  a  good  thing 
that  we  are  not  to  be  forgotten  altogether.  The 
consecrator  of  the  baptism  of  Dendrobium  Guilelmi 
secundi  is  inheriting  some  of  the  traits  of  scientific 
smartness  impaired  through  the  death  of  past  celebrities, 
and  if  we  remember  how  a  Reichenbach  had  to  stand 
attack  and  criticism  ere  he  found  recognition,  we  will 
(some  of  these  dark  days)  rank  equally  the  spooking 
pranks  of  the  orchid-sage  of  Heidelberg  whose  tomfool- 
eries exuberate  with  the  bouquet  of  Heidelberg's  Big 
Barrel.  To  disseminate  his  teachings,  would  be  an 
insult  to  the  intelligence  of  our  age.  Unmentioned  be 
their  names.  Of  all  of  them  I  write  like  H.  G.  Rchb.

It  is  a  pleasure  to  turn  from  these  types  to  whom  I

to  the  epoch  beginning  with  the  publication  of  the  Qr- 
chid  Review.  I  felt  sorry  at  the  time  of  its  issue  to  deem 
that  there  should  have  been  a  disagreement  between  the

Chronicle,  and  the  leader  of  the  new  organ  of  the  orchid 
cultivating  world.  But  as  long  as  our  Review  has  turned 
out  as  a  perfect  paper,  let  us  congratulate  ourselves  upon 
its  appearance.  It  is  a  very  difficult  matter  to  establish 
and  uphold  a  noble  positiveness  in  journalism.  Germany 
is  swamped  with  worthless  organs  of  every  part,  or 
branch  of  horticulture,  and  taking  the  best  of  all  of 
them,  it  would  require  the  import  of  a  manager  to  give 
them  the  heading  of  editorials.  It  is  to  the  Orchid  Re- 
view that  we  look  for  advice  and  guidance,  and  to  Mr. 
Eolfe  belongs  the  credit  of  having  supplied  us  with  the 
much-needed  leadership. 

I  have  enjoyed  the  assistance  of  Dr.  M.  T.  Masters 
when  addressing  many  of  those  people  to  whom  I  have 
been  applying  for  assistance  in  getting  my  material  com- 
pleted and  corrected.  Though  quite  a  number  of  those 
addressed  have  not  considered  it  worth  their  while  to 
answer,  I  am  under  obligation  to  a  great  many  corre- 
spondents. I  take  the.se  means  of  again  expressing  my* 
sincere  thanks  to  them,  and  while  I  cannot  enumerate 
individually  the  information  given,  I  have  to  single  out 
some,  on  account  of  their  readiness  in  extending  the 
much-sought  information.  Mr.  Drewett  0.  Drewett, 
Mr.  F.  M.  Burton,  Sir  William  Marriott,  and  Mr.  Regi- 
nald Young,  exhausted  their  notes  in  answering  me.  Of 
the  nurserymen  engaged  in  orchid  growing,  Messrs. 
James  Veitch  &  Sons  were  the  v.ery  model  of  a  firm,  a 
reputation  attributed  to  them  wherever  mention  of  their 
name  is  made.  Messrs.  Low,  Williams  and  Bull  were 
equally  ready  to  tell  what  was  wanted.  Messrs.  W.  L. 
Lewis  &  Co.  displayed  a  great  amount  of  kindness,  as 
winsome  as  it  was  acceptable.  Mr.  John  S.  Treseder, 
of  Messrs.  Heath  &  Son,  captivated  through  his  vivid 
interest  in  my  work,  and  to  him  and  Mr.  Wm.  Murray,

N.  C.  Cookson's  head  gardener,  I  owe  the  most  thorough 
supplies  of  information  received  from  any  source.  Many 
thanks  also  to  Mr.  R.  H.  Measures,  for  his  list,  and  to 
Mr.  W.  B.  Latham,  for  telling  me  so  exhaustively  about 
the  queer  Cypripedium  medea  monstrosa  x.  Mr.  W.  H. 
White,  Sir  Trevor  Lawrence's  man,  dealt  extensively 
with  all  the  questions  put;  also  W.  Stevens,  for  Mr. 
Thompson,  Stone.  On  this  side  of  the  water,  Mr.  Robert 
M.  Grey  and  Wm.  Grey  deserve  special  gratitude;  also 
many  thanks  again  to  Mr.  William  Robinson,  of  Mr. 
Ames'  collection,  Mr.  H.  T.  Clinkaberry,  with  Mr. 
Roebling,  Trenton,  and  Mr.  R.  Gardner,  at  Newport. 
Messrs.  Pitcher  &  Manda  showed  a  spirit  of  favor  and 
debonnairness,  which  in  my  experience  stamps  them 
the  Veitch  firm  on  our  side. 

There  are  two  reasons,  though,  for  which  a  person 
might  be  under  obligation:  one  for  positive,  the  other 
for  negative  assistance.  The  latter  may  not  be  generally 
practised,  but  either  of  the  two  is  valuable;  the  latter 
specially,  if  its  proffered  "  xenia  "  might  be  as  the 
wooden  horse  of  the  foes  of  Troja.  Messrs.  F.  Sander 
&  Co.'s  bastards  in  the  orchid  line  are  so  impertinent 
-and  rude  in  insisting  to  obtrude  our  ways,  that  their 
clamor  for  recognition  forced  me  to  address  their  sanctum 
for  condescending  information.  Alas,  we  all  are  aware 
how  notoriously  irregular  and  insecure  the  mail  service 
is.  My  missive,  therefore,  never  reached  its  destination, 
and  I  thus  was  deprived  of  the  crowning  lot  of  knowl- 
edge to  link  with  truth  the  faulty  lines  possessed.  To 
be  serious,  I  have  given  their  crosses  the  places  which 
they  claim,  according  to  the  information  going  with 
them  at  the  time  of  exhibition.  How  much  is  that?  I, 
who  knows,  think:  the  less  the  better.  If  we  cannot

lo  without  making  it  grande,  or  any  other  one  without 
elevating  it  to  princeps,  grandiosum,  superbissimum,  I 
would  fear  the  effects  of  stilting  on  ice  with  donkey's 
hoofs.  I  have  it  upon  authority  of  an  informant,  that 
the  description  of  Cypripedium  Youngianum  has  su- 
perbiens  and  Philippinense  as  seed-bearing  parent  all  in 
the  same  breath.  Sic  Reichenbachia!  Catlselia  Wellsi- 
ana,  bragged  about  as  (Ctl.  superba  x  Ctl.  elegans) — [in 
which  case  it  would  be  only  a  re-editon  of  Ctl.  Sedenii] — 
on  your  Temple  show  in  '93,  pops  up  once  more  at  your 
R.  H.  S.  meeting,  June  12,  '94,  as  (Ctl.  Trianse  Leeana 
X  LI.  purpurata).  If  reported  wrong,  it  is  not  followed 
by  any  protest.  Then  exhibits  itself  Wellsise  as  (Ctl. 
labiata  X  LI.  purpurata),  as  a  newborn  Lourdes-image  of 
the  old  bella.  If  that  is  not  enough  for  whosoever  has 
eyes  to  see,  take  Cattleya  Mrs.  M.  Wells  (Prince  of 
Wales  X  Warneri),  exhibited  R.  H.  S.  meeting  Aug.  14, 
'94.  The  firm  which  can  raise  this  cross  when  its 
Prince  of  Wales  saw  the  light  only  at  the  Temple  show 
on  the  May  29,  '91,  must  yet  have  a  "  Co."  with  the 
master  of  necromancy,  whose  soldered  relics  are  the 
only  memorials  for  us  common  lot  to  gaze  upon.  But 
if  it  does  not  take  enough  interest  in  the  children  of  its 
raising  as  to  supply  them  with  the  required  legitimacy, 
one  such  stray  bastard  brands  every  one  of  them  with 
the  notoriety  of  unreliability. 


I  have  to  take  leave  of  my  readers.  You  never  had  a 
classification  of  your  orchid  hybrids  spread  before  you. 
A  list  appeared  some  time  back  in  the  French  language. 
But  as  the  author's  reputation  had  already  to  balance

any  chronic  harm.  I  promise  to  continue  my  work 
with  every  information  which  reaches  me.  Will  you 
help  me  ?  yourself?  Consider  that  every  knowledge  you 
may  be  good  enough  to  place  at  my  disposal  is  so  much 
gained  towards  perfecting  our  efforts  at  clearness  and 
progress!  Let  me  learn,  if  you  please,  what  you  have 
raised.  If  my  data  are  wrong,  inform  me,  and  we  all, 
who  are  interested  in  this  work,  will  thank  you.  Do 
not  mind  telling  about  any  cross  you  may  have  raised, 
even  if  perfected  three,  four  and  ten  times  before  you. 
It  is  interesting  to  know  how  often  a  hybrid  has  been 
grown,  and  entertaining  to  find  out  how  many  of  those 
seedlings  have  been  sent  out,  from  how  many  sources 
our  stock  has  gone  forth.  Every  New  Year  shall  bring 
you  a  new  installment  of  my  work.  Have  your  book 
bound  so  as  to  enfold  a  narrow  strip  of  paper  between 
every  page  of  the  list,  and  my  annual  supplements  will 
be  arranged  to  admit  cutting  into  strips  and  pasting  to 
these  leaflets.  The  print  of  them  will  be  on  one  side  of 
the  paper  only,  and  thus  provided  for  your  book  will  not 
bulge  in  its  binding.* 

I  do  not  want  to  beg;  but  if  you  are  ready  to  receive  a 
plea  for  assistance,  for  recognition  of  honest  services 
rendered,  look  at  the  concluding  of  this  reading  matter 
back  to  the  page  where  I  introduced  my  book  with 
the  sigh  "  After  All."  There  is  no  more  condemnable 
course  resting  upon  this  our  fair  world  as  alms.  If  we, 
all  of  us,  were  practicing  justice,  and  employing  what 
fate  placed  in  our  trust  for  the  short  span  of  our  lives, 
we  all  would  have  a  chance  to  live  and  walk  upright.  I 
live,  but  I  do  not  walk  upright.  I  think  upright,  I 
preach  upright,  and  bitterness  of  experience  is  the  salt 
of  my  sermon.  You  who  rest  their  eyes  upon  orchids,

the  pets  of  their  ideas,  think  of  me  who  has  not  seen 
an  orchid  for  years.  Since  I  left  your  salubrious  island, 
I  have  felt  the  pangs  of  pity  for  a  few  orchids  tortured 
in  cruelty  at  the  misty  conservatory  of  the  badly  gov- 
erned Golden  Gate  Park  in  San  Francisco.  I  wish  I  had 
never  known  about  them.  Do  you  know  what  it  is  not 
to  have  at  times  the  means  of  paying  as  little  as  a  sub- 
scription to  "  Gardeners'  Chronicle?"  The  material  for 
my  list  was  gathered  on  leaves  formed  by  the  insides  of 
the  envelopes  from  letters  addressed  to  me.  Is  my  book 
good?  If  yes,  buy  it;  and  more,  get  your  friend  to  pur- 
chase another  one.  I  can  not  advertise.  Do  this  for 
me,  it  is  all  I  ask  of  you  if  you  think  me  deserving  of 
such  favors. 

I  sit  by  the  light  of  my  lamp,  housed  with  the  only 
human  being  near  me  for  half  a  mile,  my  wife.  A  little 
stove  can  hardly  warm  the  room  exposed  to  the  storm 
blowing  with  terrific  force  from  the  snowcapped  Sierras. 
It  is  grand  up  here,  elevating  for  the  mind,  healthful 
to  the  body.  I  have  a  pair  of  lungs  in  my  chest  which 
could  over-sound  that  raging  gale  outside,  and  call  to 
me  the  neighbor  far  as  he  resides.  But  they  can  not 
reach  you,  who  looks  kindly  upon  my  writing.  Take  it 
instead  as  a  greeting  from  a  man  who  unites  with  you 
in  a  heartfelt  interest  for  our  orchids.

ABOUT    THE    CHARACTER    OF    THE    FLOWERS     OF    ORCHIDS 

LIST     OF     PEOPLE      CONCERNED      IN      THE     RAISING     OF 
ORCHID    HYBRIDS — REFERENCES    AND    ABBREVIATIONS 

MADE      USE      OF ORCHIDS      RAISED      FROM      SEED      OF 

THEIR    OWN  KIND. 


About    the    Character    of    the    Flowers    of 

Orchids. 

The  parts  of  an  orchid  flower  and  their  functions  are 
fairly  well  known  to  all  those  engaged  and  interested  in 
orchid  hybridization,  and  as  the  floral  diagram  is  to  be 
had  in  most  of  the  books  about  orchids,  I  can  dispense 
with  further  explanation.  But  even  if  we  know  that 
their  structure  in  its  origin  conforms  to  lilies,  if  we  do 
understand  how  and  for  what  purpose  all  those  parts 
have  been  transformed,  does  that  explain  the  attraction 
they  exert  over  us?  Does  that  lead  us  to  the  realization 
of  the  very  reasons  for  their  fascination,  so  efficacious 
and  unresisting?  Let  us  try  to  penetrate  the  ethical 
expression  of  our  orchid  flowers,  given  to  us  in  the  en- 
semble of  their  members,  their  outline  and  their  color- 
ing: their  ideal  character. 

What  is  it,  this  sudden,  this  potent  difference  which 
in  the  judgment  of  the  philosopher  ranks  higher  even 
the  most  humble,  the  most  insignificant  orchid  than  the 
Eucharis,  the  lily?  The  element,  the  base,  the  constitu- 
ent idea  of  an  orchid  is  an  entirely  different  one.  It  is 
that  of  a  life,  of  organization,  of  a  being,  of  a  face  with 
all  its  parts,  its  lines  and  expressions.  What  is  a 


CHARACTER    OF    THE    FLOWERS    OF    ORCHIDS.  49 

Eucharis  but  an  ornament?  which,  fine  and  beautiful  as 
it  may  be,  is  and  remains  nothing  but  an  embellishment, 
a  rosette.  Turn  it  whichever  way  you  please,  it  appears 
the  same  from  any  side,  and  does  not  enable  you  to  tell 
which  is  top  or  bottom  respecting  its  position  on  the 
stalk,  if  once  severed  from  the  ovary.  How  different 
an  orchid!  Present  it  in  any  position  you  choose,  it  can 
be  told  without  hesitation:  this  way  she  was  attached  to 
the  spike,  this  is  the  way  she  looks  at  you,  and  there  is 
no  margin  for  doubt  about  it.  They  look  at  us,  indeed 
they  have  faces,  and  so  many  thousands  and  hundred 
thousands  of  orchids  with  which  I  have  been  face  to 
face,  I  never  yet  tired  to  again  and  again  study  the 
character  of  their  kind.  They  have  faces.  And  who- 
ever has  tried  to  penetrate  the  inwardness  of  their 
character,  he  will  conceive  with  me  the  fact  that  with 
the  application  of  orchids  in  our  floral  decorations,  we 
are  to  reach  the  hight  of  that  art  at  present  possible. 

I  have  read  a  great  deal  of  what  the  botanists  wrote 
about  orchids,  and  when  meditating  about  their  writings 
I  put  the  question  to  myself:  Have  they  understood  in 
their  innermost  the  life  of  the  orchid  flower?  Were 
they  conscious  of  what  is  revealed  to  us  in  every  single 
orchid  bloom?  But  little  is  told  us  about  that,  and 
sometimes  when  we  do  come  across  attempts  to  initiate 
us  into  the  secrets  of  those  beings,  we  get  the  unpleas- 
ant impression  that  we  are  confronted  with  cliche  of 
others'  writings.  I  never  have  been  troubling  myself 
with  the  obliterated  limits  of  intricate  systematic  botany, 
nor  have  I  been  favored  with  leisure  to  devote  myself  to 
the  depth  of  the  world  unbosomed  through  the  micro- 
scope. But  I  have  been  fortunate  enough  to  keep  myself 
possessed  of  the  nature  of  a  gardener,  who  has  an  in- 
ward persuasion  of  what  his  eyes  behold,  whose  mind 


50  .  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

shares  the  company  of  thoughts  about  what  his  senses 
have  been  impressed  with.  I  have  strolled  through 
green-houses  and  have  observed  many  a  time  how  gar- 
deners have  afflicted  the  orchids  with  intense  distress 
by  tying  their  spikes  in  the  most  unnatural  positions. 
Spikes  produced  in  proper  direction  were  tied  to  stakes 
in  the  most  horrible  fashions,  forcing  the  unfortunate 
flowers  to  twist  their  necks  against  inclination  and  pos- 
sibility. What  would  your  Eucharis  have  done?  What 
any  other  flower?  She  would — as  the  trivial  saying  has 
it — have  turned  to  the  light.  So  our  orchid.  But  while 
the  others  choose  the  shortest  way,  our  orchid  has  but 
one  certain  way  or  none  at  all.  She  twists  her  ovary 
just  so  much  and  not  any  further,  until  her  flowerface 
has  assumed  the  position  becoming  a  face.  Let  it  be 
understood,  though,  that  such  motions  can  be  gone 
through  by  the  spike  and  ovaries  only  so  long  as  the 
power  of  growing,  the  capacity  of  adaptation  is  potent 
in  our  plant. 

When  I  first  came  into  possession  of  Darwin's  book 
on  orchids — (and  understood  heartily  little  of  its  con- 
tents)— I  was  attracted  by  one  sentence  more  than  the 
others,  viz.:  the  ovary  of  the  orchid  flower  is  subjected 
to  a  turning  which  takes  place  to  put  the  lip  into  a 
proper  position  to  allow  the  visiting  insect  a  landing 
place — (exceptions  and  contradictions  as  there  are  by 
the  legion).  I  felt  obliged  to  lay  aside  a  book  for  the 
study  of  which  I  did  not  have  at  that  time  the  necessary 
primary  knowledge.  But  my  head  was  possessed  of  that 
and  other  sentences  further  on.  Every  orchid  which  I 
came  across  had  to  pass  review:  is  your  ovary  turned  or 
not?  I  even  went  so  far  as  to  establish  a  list,  register- 
ing all  species  known  to  me  according  to  the  position  of 
their  ovary.  How  vividly  there  again  appear  before

me  the  little  flowers  of  Nephelaphyllum  pulchrum!  (see 
Neubert's  Gartenmagazin,  1882).  How  I  have  meditated 
about  their  organization!  How  often  did  I  change  my 
notes  about  it!  How  many  sketches  did  I  outline  of 
their  ways!  And  how  happy  the  fellow  (of  then)  was 
when  he,  without  advice,  without  elementary  knowledge 
on  the  subject,  reasoned  why  in  this  case  the  labellum 
was  placed  upward,  and  how  the  other  parts  conformed 
to  its  position! 

Let  me  refer  to  a  few  instances  to  illustrate  our  ways 
and  the  orchid's  inclinations: 

Collector  K.,  of  much  travel  and  much  renown,  was 
looking  over  my  shoulder  while  I  was  trying  to  repro- 
duce the  sweet  blossom  of  Odontoglossum  Cervantesii. 
"  Why,  man,  they  are  all  standing  on  their  heads!  " — 
'  Do  you  think  so?' — "  Well,  of  course,  those  flowers 
grow  the  other  way."  He  talked  to  me,  I  listened;  he 
assured  me,  I  denied;  he  placed  himself  upon  experience 
of  ten  years  of  travel  in  their  homes,  and  ten  thousand- 
fold observations  during  their  culture.  I  regretted  not 
to  be  able  to  concur  in  his  ideas.  But  when  I  at  last 
came  out  flatfooted  and  denied  that  such  pretty  faces 
could  have  their  eyes  where  the  dimples  were  placed  by 
nature,  K.'s  patience  was  at  an  end.  "  I'll  fetch  you 
some  plants  and  prove  that  I  am  right."  K.  went,  but 
no  plants  made  their  appearance.  I  came  across  him 
in  the  nursery  later  on,  and  quizzed  him  a  little,  only 
to  get  for  an  answer:  "  Yes,  with  these  plants  you  are 
right,  but  they  are  different  in  their  home." 

I  remember  a  large  photograph  of  Vanda  coerulea, 
much  packed  about  at  one  time  for  show  and  advertise- 
ment. At  first  look  I  felt  satisfied  that  those  flowers 
never  grew  the  way  they  were  represented.  Upon  in- 
quiry, I  learned  that  the  flowers  had  wilted,  and  were 
fastened  to  such  positions  through  wires. 


52  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

Well  known  and  accessible  to  many  is  the  illustration 
of  Aeranthus  Leonis  (Gard.  Chron.,  July  18,  '85). 
When  I  opened  it  first  I  said  to  myself:  what  similarity 
with  the  fatal  Angraecum  eburneum,  which  with  its  up- 
right lip  mesmerized  my  fingers  when  visiting  the  Berlin 
Botanic  Gardens.  But  when  I  saw  Leonis  in  flower,  I 
knew  then  that  business  persuasion  must  have  tricked 
a  publisher  into  illustrating  from  alcohol  specimens,  and 
that  by  an  artist  who  did  not  know  it  all. — See  also  the 
topsy-turvy  illustration  of  Oncidium  insculptum,  G.  Ch., 
March  9,  '95. 

Very  interesting  and  illustrative  for  our  point  is,  the 
flowering  of  Laelia  anceps.  A  very  tenacious  secretion 
prevents  a  free  separation  of  the  ovary  and  buds  from 
the  bracts,  and  we  perceive  at  once  that  this  was  the 
cause  of  the  very  irregular  position  of  the  flowers  of 
that  species.  But  I  never  once  found  one  which  after 
strenuous  exertion  had  not  succeeded  in  perfecting  suffi- 
cient turn  to  occupy  a  favorable  position  for  a  landing 
insect. 

Let  us  suffice  with  these  instances  to  prove  that  in 
orchids  we  deal  with  an  exceptional  family,  with  much 
altered  conditions  conducive  to  the  cross-fertilizing  in- 
sects' agencies.  Through  it  is  easily  understood,  though 
not  explained  in  its  causes,  the  wonderful  centralizing 
effect  of  the  coloring,  all  calculated  to  attract  and  lead 
to  just  such  direction  and  no  other.  All  these  circum- 
stances, as  constant  as  they  are  inferring,  they  prove 
to  me  the  character  of  these  flowers,  the  presence  of  a 
face. 

I  imagine  I  hear  the  objection:  "  Well,  that  is  not 
so  wonderful  after  all;  do  not  dozens  of  flowers  known 
to  everybody  show  a  face?"  I  admit,  dear  friend,  there 
are  plenty  of  them;  let  us  see.  A  rose,  like  any  Rosae- 


CHARACTER    OF    THE    FLOWERS    OF    ORCHIDS.  53 

florae  is  an  ornament,  which  you  may  call  the  Lilies  of 
the  Dicotyledones.  An  Azalia,  a  Rhododendron  is 
higher  developed;  they  show  coloring  on  their  corolla, 
and  bear  marks  which  remind  us  of  the  lip  of  an  orchid 
flower.  Pelargonium  liken  them  and  show  us  a  clear-cut 
face.  And  the  Pansy  is  a  flower  which  Dick  and  Tom 
term  "face"  any  day.  Plainer  yet,  and  still  higher 
organized,  are  to  me  the  Labiatee,  and  I  would  like  to 
see  a  system  claim  highest  rank  for  them  as  they  un- 
doubtedly show  higher  breed  than  the  proletariat  of 
Composites.  The  Papilionacese  are  most  rightly  placed 
at  the  head  of  the  natural  system.  But  are  they  indeed 
the  highest  development  of  our  present  flora?  I  feel 
satisfied  that  they  carry  the  material  for  the  highest  de- 
velopment, though  their  position  is  far  from  perfection. 
But  much  as  all  these  instances  illustrate,  much  as  they 
prove  and  more  as  they  offer  for  debate,  who  is  more 
praiseworthy,  he  who  accomplishes  much  with  much  or 
he  who  perfects  more  with  less?  The  latter,  most  assur- 
edly; and  let  us  conclude  therefore:  in  the  present  state 
of  flora's  realm  no  family  equals  in  organization  the 
development  of  the  orchid.  All  those  cases  cited  of 
Pansy,  Pelargonium,  and  Azalia,  they  one  and  all  belong 
to  the  Dicotyledones,  plants  built  up  after  the  five  sys- 
tem. But  the  orchids  are  composed  of  organs  associated 
in  threes.  And  what  have  not  they  accomplished! 
Their  structure,  their  irregularity  in  denied  symmetry, 
their  coloring  in  centralizing  effect,  all  these  are  facts 
the  worth  of  which  we  can  not  estimate  too  highly. 
Where  is  the  orchid  flower  which  betrays  its  humble 
origin?  which  lets  you  guess  at  its  relationship  to  grasses 
and  sedges?  In  vain  you  trace  for  the  traitor.  There  is 
the  cause  why  we  should  esteem  them  more  highly  than 
all  the  faceshowing  flowers  of  the  Dicotyledones,  in  the 


54  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

fact  that  they  select  one  of  their  leaves  of.  the  six- 
company,  transform  it  by  sacrificing  additional  organs, 
and  mark  it  with  the  loveliest  of  color  for  the  most  noble 
of  purposes.  In  this  grand  commonwealth  of  such 
household,  in  the  organization  of  their  parts  to  serve 
one  purpose,  giving  the  outward  appearance  as  if  they 
were  members  of  the  thousand-year  younger  tribe  of  five- 
membered  plants;  there  is  given  unto  us  a  hint  of  what 
was  placed  beyond  the  common  reach  of  the  Monocotyle- 
dones,  what  only  in  the  Dicotyledones  can  be  accom- 
plished, in  future  perfected.  "  Les  extremes  se  touchent." 
The  way  in  which  a  nation  makes  at  home  art  and 
science  at  her  hearth,  is  the  way  we  judge  its  place  in 
civilization.  The  way  in  which  a  gardener  chooses  his 
culture,  he  proves  his  taste,  his  character. 


It  is  with  deep  reverence  that  I  again  go  through  those 
lines  of  thought  dotted  down  eight  years  ago  this  month. 
They  formed  the  leading  idea  for  a  book  on  orchids 
written  in  the'  days  of  enthusiasm,  finished  almost  and 

contracted  for  and,  then .     I  again   hear  the  sound 

of  the  ocean  at  my  ear,  I  lose  my  thoughts  on  the  un- 
ending stretch  of  that  enormous  water.  Let  this  passage 
be  the  only  one  to  give  witness  of  days  when  youth  and 
enthusiasm  were  at  their  height,  when  everything  was 
within  reach  of  a  loving  heart,  nothing  crippled  with 
an  idea  of  impossibility  of  perfection.  These  sentences 
were  put  down  when  the  soul  was  in  full  enjoyment  of 
work,  friendship  and  success.  They  were  read  to  a  circle 
of  like-minded  fellows,  all  enthusiastic  and  willing  to 
burden  themselves  with  their  shares  of  adversity,  to 
occupy  the  foremost  rank,  if  it  should  be  as  a  lost  picket. 
A  pity  the  foreign  tongue  hampers  the  expression, 
brightened  up  by  the  old  ardor  under  the  recollection  of 
increased  happiness  and  divided  sorrow.

60  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

References  and  Abbreviations  Made  Use  of. 

I  mention  specially  that  of  all  citations,  I  have  given 
the  greatest  importance  to  the  date  on  which  the  hybrid 
in  question  was  shown  for  the  first  time,  be  this  with 
the  description  or  with  only  the  simple  record  of  its 
parentage.  I  have  not  attempted  to  give  a  record  of  all 
those  places  where  a  description  was  published,  and  add 
besides  and  after  the  date  of  publication  (be  it  in  show  or 
journal)  those  places  only  where  figures  of  the  plant  appear. 

While  descriptions  of  hybrids  are  essential  to  science, 
the  different  plants  raised  from  the  seed  of  one  pod  show 
so  great  a  variation,  that  to  us  their  record  of  parentage 
is  the  only  determining  fact  in  the  ranking  of  hybrids. 
My  citations  vary  in  so  far  from  the  rules  of  botanists, 
that  I  have  substituted  the  date  in  place  of  volume 
and  page,  except  those  references  which  I  had  to  copy 
from  citations.  I  know  this  will  lead  to  criticism  and 
objection.  But  there  surely  is  nothing  wrong  about  my 
way.  And  is  not  for  us  gardeners  the  date  more  plaus- 
ible than  volume  and  number?  Priority  has  to  be 
recognized  most  vigorously,  and  its  right  applied  strictly 
throughout,  if  for  once  we  shall  establish  a  base  to  work 
upon  for  the  future,  and  at  the  same  time  do  justice  to 
past  results  and  efforts. 

Another  point.  As  far  back  as  1864  (see  Gard.  Chron. 
July  16th),  we  find  our  attention  drawn  to  the  coming 
revolution  in  orchid  nomenclature.  It  was  Reichen- 
bach  who  gave  us  a  sample  of  his  tumultuous,  autocratic 
spirit,  and  while  he  yet  was  below  the  horizon  of  recog- 
nition, people  did  not  mind  criticising  his  doings  and 
urgings.  Lindley's  death  made  him  the  laureate,  meta- 
morphosing into  a  bullfrog  soon  after.  Coward  he 
proved  himself  a  dozen  times,  if  once,  when  refusing 
to  apply  his  twists  and  crooks  in  nomenclature  to  his

very  writings.  Should  I,  writing  for  gardeners,  who 
seek  but  reliable  information,  and  do  not  want  and 
should  not  be  hampered  by  scientists'  obligations  any 
more  than  necessary,  be  forced  to  entangle  myself  and 
them  by  citing  in  every  instance  who  first  applied  the 
term  of  Selenipedium  to  this  or  that  species?  Seleni- 
pedia  they  are,  and  separated  with  equal  right  as  Lselia 
and  Cattleya.  I  admit  them  as  such,  and  still  retain 
Rchb.  f.  or  Rolfe  or  anybody  else,  for  that  matter, 
if  they  happen  to  be  the  authority  of  any  cross  in  ques- 
tion. Beware  of  obligations  the  carrying  out  of  which 
is  not  improving  our  cause,  and  the  omission  of  which 
is  not  establishing  any  precedent  nor  creating  any  wrong 
or  harm.  Should  my  most  unfortunate  initials  be  at- 
tached to  Phalanthe,  to  Zygolax,  Mr.  Ridley's  to  Catlse- 
lia?  If  I  am  the  first  innocent  one  to  group  those' 
hybrids  under  new  heads,  new  for  usefulness,  new  for 
reasons  and  new  for  progress;  let  us  adhere  to  them  for 
convenience  sake,  and  not  wrangle  over  the  comparative 
worth  of  the  three  hundred  and  odd  nails  from  the 
cross  of  Christ. 

Do  not  blame  me  either  for  giving  room  to  hundreds 
of  records  obscure,  obliterated,  indistinct  and  unpub- 
lished. Have  not  all  of  us  sinned  in  the  past  for  going 
as  long  as  we  did  without  recognizing  any  standard?  If 
Cypripedium  what-its-name  and  the-other-kind  have 
been  crossed  by  the  unknown  man,  and  I  heard  of  it, 
learned  its  name,  found  out  a  little  more:  he  is  entitled 
to  recognition,  entitled  as  long  as  the  land  has  not  been 
surveyed  and  parceled  out  according  to  law,  and  previous 
possessory  right.  If  others  accomplished  like  crosses, 
they  are  subjected  to  the  oldest  name,  if  known  but  to 
local  fame.  It  is  hazardous  to  be  just  to  all  while  living 
in  amongst  you  orchid  raisers,  affected  and  subjected  to 


62  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

side-influences.  Like  Reichenbach,  independent,  and 
still  under  latent  regimes,  you  cannot  survey  all  you 
own.  It  sometimes  is  a  question  of  pounds,  nay, 
guineas,  to  reject  Lord  Tom  gardener's  product,  while 
Uriah  Johns  should  be  enthroned  with  his  bastard. 

I  further  have  to  apologize  for  reducing  citations  and 
abbreviations.  Gardeners1  Chronicle  is  known  where 
gardeners  stoke  a  furnace.  If  you  abbreviate  it  "  Gard. 
Chron."  every  child  could  guess  what  is  meant,  un- 
known as  such  journal  may  be  to  it.  But,  from  begin- 
ning to  end,  I  address  myself  only  to  those  at  home 
amongst  orchids,  acquainted  with  our  standard  publica- 
tions. My  citations  of  Reichenbachia  plates  are  incom- 
plete throughout  in  so  far  as  I  had  to  copy  whatever 
pictures  I  found  recorded  in  other  publications.  Even 
*they,  favored  with  inspection  of  such  plates,  cannot 
possibly  keep  track  of  Sander's  tricks  and  traces.  I  arn 
satisfied  he  forgot  himself  at  what  volume  he  arrived, 
and  worries  whether  it  would  pay  to  sandwich  Queen 
Lil  with  his  next  number.  I  have  consulted  books  which 
my  poor  purse  could  purchase;  do  not  blame  me  for 
having  accomplished  but  what  was  possible;  my,  our 
poorness  is  others'  fault.  Look  at  my  writing  in  a 
friendly  spirit,  and  you  will  readily  understand  what 
"G.  Ch."  "0.  R."  "RHS."  means.  If  not,  if  a  dif- 
ferent spirit  rules  your  mind,  think  that  a  day  may 
come  for  you  or  your  children  when  you  have  to  raise 
chickens  for  eggs,  peddle  flowers  in  the  street,  haul 
manure  for  a  living,  and  with  all  that,  not  only  think 
about  publishing  books  like  mine,  but  accomplish  it 
too,  when  bordering  on  the  satanic  proposition:  tails, 
no  gain;  heads,  no  go.

Orchids   Raised  from   Seed  of    Their  Own 

Kind. 

While  I  have  taken  occasion  to  enumerate  hybrids 
raised  through  crossing  of  their  own  kind  at  places 
where  their  original  cross  is  recorded,  I  repeat  them 
here,  together  with  seedlings  raised  from  other  sources:

KEMARKS     RESPECTING      THE     GENERA     AND      SPECIES     EM- 
PLOYED    IN     RAISING     HYBRIDS. 


Cattleya,  Laelia,  Catlaelia. 

The  grouping  of  numerous  Cattleyas  as  varieties  of 
labiata  has  been  ignored  by  me  when  classifying  the 
hybrids.  After  all  every  species  is  more  or  less  closely 
related  to  others,  and  to  fight  over  the  degree  of  rela- 
tionship appears  to  me  rather  trivial.  The  gardening 
community  recognizes  an  unlimited  amount  of  varieties, 
and  to  allow  easy  recognition,  I  have  mentioned  every 
Cattleya,  as  we  gardeners  have  been  wont  to  do  for  years. 
Ct.  labiata  vera  is  labiata  plain  and  simple.  Eldorado 
and  Mossiae  and  all  the  rest  stand  on  their  own  merit. 

Ct.  Harrisoiiiana  Batem.,  is  given  by  Veitch's  Manual 
as  variety  of  Loddigesii  and  I  retained  it  as  such,  though 
the  Orchid  Review  recognizes  a  distinct  species  in  it. 
We  look  at  them  in  the  light  of  value  in  hybridizing, 
and  are  satisfied  that  the  influence  of  Harrisoniana  is 
not  bold  enough  to  insist  upon  recognition.  But  as  the 
variety  is  mentioned  in  every  instance  in  which  it  was 
employed,  110  harm  has  been  done. 

Cypripedium. 

The  Cypripedia  having  been  employed  most  of  any 
orchids  in  hybridizing  furnish  many  cases  of  embar- 
rassment, which  it  was  not  pleasant  to  compromise.  I 
have  been  in  doubt  whether  to  let  Cpd.  Boxalli  occupy 
the  rank  of  a  species  or  of  a  variety  of  villosum  only. 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  67 

I  am  prepared  for  all  the  objection  which  can  be  raised 
on  account  of  my  having  decided  to  subdue  in  my  list 
this  Cypripedium  as  a  species.  But  who  of  you  calls 
Cpd.  Sanderse  anything  but  a  variety  of  insigne?  As 
long  as  I  have  ranked  the  crosses  raised  with  Boxalli  as 
varieties  of  the  class  which  was  formed  previously  with 
villosum,  or  vice  versa,  I  feel  satisfied  that  justice  has 
been  done  to  all  those  placing  more  importance  in 
that  lady-slipper.  Cpd.  villosum  aureum  will  impress 
its  progeny  with  characters  as  conspicuous  as  the  black- 
est Boxalli  atratum  could  cause;  and  does  not  any  good 
orchid  collection  furnish  an  assortment  of  varieties 
linking  these  two  extremes  so  gradually  that  you  could 
not  draw  the  line  where  one  begins  and  the  other  left 
off? 

Cpd.  Elliottianum  is  nothing  but  a  variety  of  Roth- 
schildianum. 

The  controversy  over  Cpd.  excellens  I  have  cut  short 
by  retaining  this  name  for  the  hybrid  exhibited  origi- 
nally as  excelsior.  It  amused  me  having  decided  in  just 
this  way  ere  the  number  of  the  Orchid  Review  reached 
me  in  which  that  journal  proposed  the  very  same.  But 
why  go  back  and  re-establish  excelsior?  That  is  a  syno- 
nym of  Buchanianum,  and  to  prevent  any  attempt  of 
christening  another  hybrid  by  that  name,  let  us  adhere 
to  excellens. 

The  name  of  Cpd.  Memoria  Moensii  x  has  been  refused 
recognition  on  account  of  its  oddity;  Moens  and  Moensii 
have  been  suggested  instead.  We  are  so  lucky  to  be 
able  to  dispose  of  both  Moens  and  his  Memoria,  as  the 
bastard  is  nothing  but  a  duplicated  Tityus  of  Messrs. 
Veitch. 

Cpd.  Lucienianum  x  is  one  of  those  unfortunate 
hybrids  that  does  not  remember  who  its  father  was,  and 


68  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

in  its  anxiety  to  gain  respectability  bothered  me  consid- 
erable in  straightening  out  the  records.  Let  such  cases 
be  a  warning  to  us  not  to  recognize  foundlings,  or  at 
least  depreciate  them  so  much  in  dollars  and  cents  that 
the  firm  sending  out  such  things  will  take  more  trouble 
next  time  to  keep  track  of  their  lots. 

At  the  sale  of  the  Fernside  collection,  April  7,  1891, 
plants  of  Elliottianum  with  seed  of  that  species  crossed 
with  Lathamianum  x  and  euryandrum  x  resp.,  sown 
unto  the  pots,  were  sold.  What  has  become  of  them? 

I  am  one  of  those  unfortunate  orchid  enthusiasts  to 
whom  never  was  granted  acquaintanceship  with  the  king 
of  Cypripedia,  Stonei  platytsenium.  Do  not  blame  me, 
therefore,  if  I  make  a  blunder  in  suggesting  that  it  be 
a  natural  hybrid  between  Stonei  and  Lowii.  Such  cross 
artificially  raised  has  not  flowered  yet,  and  though  there 
is  every  possibility  of  a  seedling  of  such  parentage 
growing  in  some  collection  at  the  present  time,  do  not 
mind  trying  it  over  and  over  again.  You  know  how 
much  hybrids  vary,  and  if  you  do  not  flower  a  Stonei 
platytsenium,  may  be  it  will  be  a  platytseiiium  never- 
theless. 

Several  names  have  been  used  twice  in  christening 
hybrids.  Three  of  those,  viz.,  Adonis,  Macfarlanei  and 
Horneri  stand  as  good  hybrids,  their  namesakes  requir- 
ing subduction  as  synonyms.  But  all  the  rest  are  elim- 
inated entirely  from  the  rank  of  distinct  hybrids  as  they 
had  been  raised  at  other  places  previously.  They  are 
Denisianum,  Sirius,  gloriosum,  Roberti,  Hebe,  Hera, 
Cecilia,  and  the  commonplace  hybridum. 

All  those  hybrids  of  Cypripedia  which,  as  far  as  I 
could  learn,  are  identical  with  the  reverse  of  the  original 
cross,  deserve  special  enumeration: 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  69 

Arthurianum,  calophyllum,  Lathamianum, 

Leeanum,  nitens,  Measuresianum, 

Morganise,  oenanthum,  Savageanum. 

selligerum,  Tautziaiium. 

The  only  ones  of  which  I  found  mention  to  the  con- 
trary are  the  crosses  of  niveum  and  Lawrenceanum: 
Antigone  and  Aphrodite.  But  how  fallacious  a  con- 
clusion a  priori  can  turn  out  is  taught  to  us  by  Cpd. 
Lawrebel  of  which  "  the  first  flower  resembled  the  pollen 
parent  (bellatulum),  but  another  plant  showed  just 
opposite  characteristic."  Observations  like  these  con- 
firm the  decision  I  made  from  the  very  outset  of  my 
classification,  that  the  progeny  of  two  species  belong 
under  one  name  only,  and  if  found  to  vary  sufficient  to 
admit  special  distinction,  allow  them  varietal  rank. 

Though  I  believe  it  possible  to  say  at  the  time  of  cross- 
ing two  species  what  the  result  will  be  in  shape,  color 
and  plant,  we  will  be  safer  in  our  supposition  if  we  pre- 
dict: one  of  the  numbers  is  apt  to  display  the  characters 
we  attribute  to  the  seedling.  Look  at  the  number  of  lo 
in  circulation,  and  be  surprised  how  nearly  they  revert 
to  one  species  or  other.  At  the  RHS.  meeting,  No- 
vember 14,  1893,  Mr.  Fitt,  of  Panshaiiger,  Hertford, 
showed  Cpd.  Leeanum  (insigne  X  Spicerianum)  ."  and 
also  a  plant  from  the  same  seed-capsule  which  had  re- 
verted very  near  to  Spicerianum."  Still  fresh  in  every- 
body's mind  is  the  remarkable  case  reported  by  Mr. 
Wm.  Grey,  grower  of  Mr.  Erastus  Coming's  orchids,  at 
Albany,  N.  Y.  [0.  R.,  Aug.,  '94].  He  fertilized  Gode- 
froyse  with  niveum  and  reports  that  he  "  produced  con- 
color,  niveum,  Godefroyse,  leucochilum,  leucochilum  pure 
white, bellatulum,  and  nearly  fifty  distinct  forms."  Taken 
cum  grano  salis^  I  do  not  see  anything  so  remarkable  in 
this  case.  Let  us  remember  that  niveum  and  Godefroyse 


70  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

are  not  very  far  separated  as  species,  and  that  with 
bellatulum  and  Regnieri  we  have  nearly  the  full  set  of 
what  we  term  the'niveum-group.  Look  around  in  your 
own  or  your  neighbor's  relationship,  and  do  not  be  sur- 
prised at  the  analogy  you  will  discover.  Does  your  boy 
raise  pigeons?  or  your  wife  chickens?  Why  is  it  that 
your  boy  possesses  pigeons  which  display  color  and  spots 
never  traceable  to  the  parents  in  question?  Why  is  it 
your  little  flock  of  pullets  has  quite  a  number  that  carry 
double  combs,  whereas  you  know  for  a  fact  that  rooster 
and  hen  both  have  a  single  lop-comb?  Keep  your  eyes 
open,  and  the  records  of  your  hybridizing  strict  and 
truthful,  and  you  will  lend  a  strong  and  generous  helping 
hand  to  the  botanist  who  tries  to  father  you.  Let  us 
speak  fully  about  the  remarkable  Cpd.  medea  moiistrosa 
raised  as  (Spicerianum  $  X  hirsutissimum)  by  Mr.  W. 
B.  Latham,  the  curator  of  the  Birmingham  Botanic 
Garden,  at  Edgbaston.  He  had  sent  it  to  Mr.  R.  A. 
Rolfe,  who  named  it  provisionally  as  above  and  added: 
"  Veitch's  hybrid  is  normal  in  character,  yours  may  or 
may  not  become  so  hereafter.  Others  from  the  same 
cross  may  come  all  right  if  you  have  them.  The  lip  is 
not  really  absent,  but  abnormal  in  shape,  more  like  a 
sepal.  Its  greatest  curiosity  to  my  mind  is  that  the  two 
stamens  are  changed  into  perfect  staminodes.  I  should 
keep  it,  if  only  as  a  curiosity,  it  is  a  very  instructive  plant. 
If  proof  were  wanted  that  the  staminode  is  only  a  mod- 
ified stamen,  surely  here  it  is."  Let  me,  as  a  far-off 
observer,  add  that  the  plant  should  be  grown  on,  divided 
and  distributed  to  centers  of  learning  where  botanical 
objects  of  scientific  value  are  supposed  to  be  taken  care 
of.  But  one  plant  was  raised,  and  though  it  would  have 
been  interesting  to  have  a  dozen  more  seedlings  from 
the  same  capsule,  it  is  just  as  likely  that  not  one  other 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  71 

might  have  displayed  such  character.  It  has  now 
flowered  for  four  years  and  proves  its  character  to  be 
constant.  "W.  D.,"  in  Gard.  Chron.,  Dec.  10,  '92,  re- 
ports on  this  medea  monstrosa  and  tells  us  that  it  has 
been  impregnated  again  with  a  view  to  restore  the  pouch. 
If  "W.  D."  should  not  have  quite  understood  the  char- 
acter of  the  abnormal,  though  constant  flower,  we  are 
neverthelesss  very  much  interested  with  what  he  may 
produce,  and  thank  him  for  further  information. 

Next  time  when  you  have  a  trilabella  flower  of  an 
orchid  in  your  collection,  use  its  pollen  and  also  fertilize 
its  stigma;  though,  of  course,  a  trilabella  being  a  mon- 
strosity, or  rather  an  abnormal  flower,  you  have  to  make 
the  best  of  whatever  of  the  sexual  organs  you  find  in 
healthy  condition.  If  your  first  attempt  at  fixing  such 
abnormal  state  fails,  try  again,  and  again.  If  you  do 
not  produce  gorgeousness  or  beauty,  you  perhaps  suc- 
ceed in  arriving  at  flowers  the  product  of  which  should 
be  paid  highly  for  by  botanic  institutions. 

It  might  also  be  cited  at  this  place  the  instance  of  the 
dimidiate  Cpd.  Harrisianum  Dauthieri  x  fig.  in  G.  Ch., 
March  16,  '95,  showing  a  separated  marking  of  barbatum 
and  villosum.  We  learn  that  it  is  a  "  sport, "  an  un- 
perfect  blending  of  the  characters  of  the  resp.  parents. 
But  the  report  fails  to  inform  us  whether  this  sport  is 
constant  or  only  temporal. 

The  contents  of  a  very  interesting  letter  from  William 
Grey,  Kenwood  Gate,  Albany,  N.  Y.,  have  been  em- 
bodied in  the  list  of  hybrids  wherever  the  crosses  per- 
fected required  their  place,  but  aside  from  expressing 
my  obligation  for  such  liberal  information  as  furnished 
by  him,  I  have  to  mention  specially  a  cross  performed 
with  Cypripedia.  He  writes:  "In  1892,  feeling  Pick- 
wickian, I  fertilized  barbatum  pulcherrimum  with  one 


72  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

anther  of  niveum,  one  of  Spicerianum,  one  of  Chantiiiii 
(which  would  have  given  resp.  Tautzianum,  Eyermani- 
anum,  Ashburtonise).  The  three  anthers  were  placed 
on  the  stigma  in  a  few  seconds.  I  have  nine  nice  plants, 
two  very  strong  growers  with  leaves  mottled  like  Aylingii 
(which  is  from  ciliolare  x  niveum),  but  longer  and  twice 
the  width.  The  others  look  all  Spicerianum  stock. 
This  trial  was  made  with  the  idea  of  saving  flowers  and 
having  finer  plants  to  take  up  room;  my  space  for  seed- 
lings is  very  limited."  I  have  given  the  names  these 
crosses  would  require,  and  look  for  hybrids  direct  in  the 
line  of  those  already  resulted  at  other  places.  As  I.  have 
not  found  mention  of  other  experiments  to  equal  this — 
though  many  may  have  been  tried — I  like  to  give  it 
special  distinction.  It  is  highly  interesting  to  know 
that  different  pollen  will  fertilize  at  the  same  time  the 
ovules  in  an  ovary,  though,  of  course,  exceptions  will 
be  to  this  rule,  as  there  are  to  every  other. 

Other  interesting  notes,  across  which  I  came  while 
writing  up  my  subjects,  have  been  related  in  connection 
with  the  hybrids  in  the  list. 

Seedlings,  one  parent  of  which  was  Cpd.  Stonei,  are 
stated  to  require  longer  time  to  arrive  at  the  flowering 
state  than  others.  D.  0.  Drewett  in  Gard.  Chron., 
March  3,  '93. 

While  Cypripedium  seedlings  have  flowered  already 
in  the  second  year,  other  seedlings  from  the  very  same 
seedpod  have  required  double  that  time.  H.  Homer, 
Gard.  Chron.,  July  8,  '93. 

Dendrobium. 

Of  interesting  notes  not  included  in  the  enumeration, 
I  have  to  mention  the  following:  Ddr.  Dalhousianum 
is  reported  as  hard  to  cross  (J.  Douglas,  Gard.  Chron., 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  73 

July  8,  '93).  Wm.  Murray,  Mr.  Cookson's  clever  man, 
mentions  that  he  took  "considerable  over  a  thousand 
Dendrobes  from  one  seed  vessel "  (Gard.  Chron.,  Feb.  24, 
'94) .  0.  R. ,  July ,'93,  states  that  the  cross  of  (Ainsworthii 
x  and  Findlayanum),  chrysodiscus,  is  "remarkably 
different "  from  the  reverse  cross,  melanodiscus. 

Odontoglossum. 

It  is  only  with  the  appearance  of  the  Orchid  Review 
that  order  began  to  reign  amongst  the  multitude  of 
Odontoglossum  hybrids.  Reichenbach  suprised  us  once 
when  attempting  to  classify  the  relatives  of  Od.  Ruck- 
erianum  and  Andersonianum  under  the  name  of  laii- 
ceans.  But  of  what  little  weight  such  effort  was  is 
obvious,  when  we  learn  how  he  himself  deprived  his 
attempt  of  all  importance  when  stating  "  for  rny  corre- 
spondents I  use  the  older  names."  To  dub  Odontoglos- 
sum hybrids  with  all  kinds  of  names  has  become  such 
mania  that  it  seems  incredible  to  many  that  people  could 
be  found  to  allow  the  use  of  their  names  for  such  tramps 
amongst  the  noble  class  of  species  belonging  to  the 
Odontoglossa.  I  have  mentioned  in  another  place  that 
I  have  not  beheld  an  orchid  for  now  almost  eight  years. 
Of  all  the  impressions  received  from  subjects  in  garden 
and  nature,  none  have  remained  as  vivid  and  bright  as 
the  faces  of  all  my  orchid  friends.  But  I  trust  that  my 
adapting  of  Mr.  Rolfe's  classification  will  not  be  ascribed 
to  me  as  theft.  My  intentions  to  restore  order  in  this 
class  have  been  honest  and  persevering,  as  hundreds  of 
drawings  and  paintings  on  this  very  subject  will  bear 
me  out.  I  have  exhibited  them  at  the  meetings  of  the 
scientific  committee  of  the  Royal  Hort.  Soc.,  at  South 
Kensington,  and  of  all  the  scientific  work  once  under- 
taken by  me  and  rudely  interrupted  through  fate's 


74  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

ruling,  the  abandoning  of  my  Odontoglossum  study 
was  a  cruel  blow.  Like  this  very  day,  when  I  rove 
through  the  forest  here  or  ride  through  the  canons  of 
our  Sierras,  I  tell  at  a  glance  which  oak  is  of  hybrid 
nature,  and  figure  on  the  percentage  of  strange  ''blood" 
assimilated  in  a  specimen  before  me:  so  with  my  Odon- 
toglossa.  But  years  have  passed  over  the  lands;  and 
as  the  work  which  I  may  leave  to-day  at  this  place  per- 
haps has  already  found  a  fresh  enthusiast  in  a  home 
with  our  antipodes  ere  the  sheltering  cover  of  hair  has 
left  that  forehead  under  which  the  battle  between 
thought  and  fact  was  fought:  so  little  difference  does  it 
make  who  solves  these  trifling  problems  of  our  universe. 
The  ant  fills  a  place,  arid  its  work  is  weighty  with  its 
people.  While  one  man  is  engaged  to  prove  the  extent 
of  this  mundane  sphere,  another,  his  neighbor,  is  plant- 
ing the  potatoes  which  serve  as  his  food;  and  both  are 
filling  a  high  vocation. 

It  would  have  been  a  pleasure  for  me  to  adopt  Mr. 
Rolfe's  classification  in  the  very  form  he  offers  it,  if  I 
could  have  made  it  agree  with  the  rules  laid  down  for 
my  system.  If  Od.  Andersonianum  and  Ruckeriamum 
are  both  hybrids  from  the  crossing  of  gloriosum  and 
crispum,  they  should  be  ranged  under  the  name  claiming 
priority,  and,  if  need  be,  a  variety  established  for  the 
later  discovered  cross.  To  class  all  the  bastards  of  the 
two  species  mentioned  under  the  combination  name  of 
Od.  glorioso-crispum  is  conforming  to  rules  of  botanists, 
and  a  good  solution  when  dozens  of  established  names 
claim  equality  in  rank  with  the  first  discovered  natural 
hybrid.  But  we  can  not  adopt  such  course  in  one  in- 
stance, if  in  every  other  we  simply  refer  every  additional 
hybrid  to  the  name  established  long  since.  That  stands, 
and  is  understood  to  be  the  result  of  the  parents  given 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  75 

as  record.  As  the  followers  of  this  cross  have  reached 
so  large  a  number  and  are  so  inveterately  established 
with  us,  it  was  a  lucky  idea  of  Reichenbach  to  propose 
a  new  name  and  thus  lop  off  the  heads  of  all  the  bas- 
tards clamoring  for  recognition:  he  founded  his  lanceans. 
I  adopt  it,  partly  because  it  has  been  established  and 
has  to  be  dealt  with,  partly  while  laboring  under  the 
conviction  that  it  will  be  almost  impossible  to  do  away 
with  such  names  as  Ruckerianum,  Andersonianum, 
Pollettianum  and  the  fifty  others.  Call  all  of  them 
lanceans  and  make  as  many  varieties  of  it  as  you  may 
feel  inclined.  It  might  be  said  that  for  the  rest  of  the 
Odontoglossa  groups  I  should  also  recognize  a  collective. 
None  have  been  established,  and  none  should  be  created. 
No  other  class  is  as  numerous,  so  that  we  can  more  easily 
adapt  ourselves  to  the  use  of  the  ones  in  vogue.  The 
collective  names  are  terms  peculiar  to  botanists,  and  not 
welcome  as  a  substitute  for  the  first  established  names. 

The  crosses  of  luteopurpureum  and  crispum  are  best 
known  as  Wilckeanum.  Denisonise  claims  priority,  and 
while  I  know  that  the  gardening  world  will  be  slow  to 
accept  such  substitution,  it  nevertheless  has  to  take  first 
rank. 

I  give  separately  all  those  hybrids  across  the  records 
of  which  I  came,  and  which  have  not  yet  been  spoken 
of  by  Mr.  Rolfe.  Future  supplements  will  bring  what- 
ever corrections  might  have  been  made  to  that  list. 

Selenipedium, 

In  spite  of  the  ruling  tendency  amongst  gardeners  to 
range  this  genus  under  Cypripedium,  it  cannot  be  up- 
held as  long  as  we  recognize  at  all  any  botanical  distinc- 
tion. Laalia  and  Cattleya  are  more  nearly  related  than 
these  two  genera. 


76  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

The  nomenclature  of  this  genus,  if  taken  to  Cypripe- 
dium,  would  interfere  in  a  few  cases,  viz.:  giganteum, 
Venus  and  robustum  (robustius  and  robusticus,  lingua 
hortulanorum!). 

Regarding  the  varieties  of  Spd.  longifolium,  I  have 
preferred  to  follow  the  division  of  Rolfe  (Gard.  Chron. 
Dec.  20,  '90.)  in  Hincksianura,  the  Isthmus  of  Darien 
form,  Roezlii,  from  New  Granada,  and  Hartwegii,  the 
Ecuador  variety. 

Spd.  longifolium  is  so  variable  a  species  that  it  can- 
not be  wondered  at  that  all  those  crosses  in  which  it  took 
part  display  a  wonderfully  great  relationship;  so  much 
so,  in  fact,  that  sooner  or  later  some  rearrangement  will 
have  to  be  made  defining  those  seedlings  which  display 
a  character  rendering  their  certificate  of  birth  liable  to 
forfeiture.  I  will  mention  those  cases  which  came  under 
my  notice.  Spd.  Albanense  (Schlimii  X  Sedenii  x) 
Veitch's  Manual,  page  105,  states  "  differs  in  no  essential 
character  from  the  original  Sedenii. "  It  is  doubtful 
whether  Sedenii  took  any  part  in  this  cross,  but  if  it 
did  not,  I  would  not  have  referred  it  to  that  cross. — 
Further,  Spd.  porphyreum  (longifolium  $  X  Schlimii), 
Mr.  Drewett  0.  Drewett  writes  in  his  letter  of  March  3, 
'93:  "  The  seedlings  varied  greatly.  I  have  as  good  a 
variety  of  Sedenii  candidulum  as  there  is  from  this  same 
batch.  The  above  is  a  very  dark,  if  properly  grown." — 
Again:  (cardinale  X  longifolium)  could  "  almost  pass  as 
a  light  form  of  Sedenii."  0.  R.,  Oct.,  '93.— Further,  Mr. 
W.Vanner,  Camden  Wood,  Chislehurst,  in  0.  R.,  June, 
'93,  Spd.  pulchellum  (grande  x  ?  X  Sedenii  candidulum 
x).  He  states  "they  are  remarkably  like  Spd.  leucorr- 
hodum  x,  notwithstanding  the  different  parentage.  The 
influence  of  caudatum  is  almost  lost.  Of  the  six  plants 
raised,  none  were  quite  alike."  Remembering  that 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  77 

grande  was  raised  from  Roezlii  and  caudatum,  and 
Sedenii  from  longifolium  and  Schlimii  albiflorum,  and 
that  leucorrhodum  is  the  seedling  of  Roezlii  crossed  with 
Schlimii  albiflorum;  the  case  is  very  natural  indeed. 
The  Garden  of  May  26,  '88,  states,  under  W.'s  signature, 
the  following:  "  I  recently  saw  in  Mr.  Buchan's  garden 
at  Southampton,  a  very  good  seedling  of  Spd.  Roezlii, 
which  had  been  obtained  from  the  same  pod  of  seed 
which  produced  Spd.  Sedenii  candidulum,  evidently 
proving  that  all  the  seeds  were  not  crossed."  Though 
the  latter  part  of  that  sentence  is  absurd,  the  statement 
given  in  good  faith  is  interesting  enough.  It  would 
have  been  desirable  if  a  center  of  learning  and  teaching 
like  Kew  had  taken  up  a  case  like  this  and  investigated 
its  record.  About  Spd.  macrochilum  x  and  Hardyanum 
x  I  have  spoken  before. 

Spd.  cardinale  offers  debate  for  which  I  never  looked 
when  confronted  with  it.  Mr.  D.  0.  Drewett  wrote: 
"  Please,  note  that  the  proper  name  is  cardinal^,  not 
cardinale.  Reichenbach  wrote  on  this  point  a  very 
bitter  letter.  CardinaKs  means  of  the  Cardinal  or  car- 
dinal colored,  cadinale  means  hinged.  The  mistake  has 
arisen  from  making  the  specific  name  agree  in  gender 
with  the  generic,  whereas  it  is  an  adjective  descriptive." 
.Nobody  can  be  more  ready  than  I  to  accept  corrections 
in  nomenclature.  But  my  old  George's  Dictionary  went 
to  the  store  with  the  Perugian  emblem  when  I  left  school 
and  thought  I  had  done  with  Latin  for  good;  and  my 
copy  of  the  original  description  in  Gard.  Chron.,  Oct. 
14,  '82,  states  cardinale  in  two  places.  As  it  bore  H.  G. 
Rchb.  f.  at  the  tail  of  it,  I  do  not  mind  the  mesmer- 
izing of  the  gone  spirit.  True  as  this  statement  of  Mr. 
Drewett's  is,  and  correct  as  the  reasoning  undoubtedly 
would  prove,  I  must  have  lost  trace  of  the  correction  in 


78  ORCHID    HYBRIDS. 

the  next  number  of  Gard.  Chron.,  as  Rchb.  f.  never 
failed  to  speak  out  the  venom  of  his  feelings.  If  he 
failed  that  time  at  that  place,  the  contemporaneous  cor- 
respondence only  would  chronicle  the  opposite,  and 
manuscript  assertion  cannot  be  regarded  superior  to  non- 
protested  publication. 

Special  interest  has  been  aroused  by  all  those  crosses 
in  which  Spd.  caudatum  Lindenii  participated;  and  well 
it  might.  If  the  progeny  of  this  abnormal  peloria  shows 
pouches  exceeding  in  size  by  far  what  human  calcula- 
tion would  predict,  we  are  confronted  with  a  problem 
worthy  the  engagement  of  any  scientist's  study.  I 
enumerate  all  those  cases  belonging  here.  Of  Spd. 
grande  var.  macrochilum  (longifolium  $  X  caudatum 
Lindenii)  it  is  said  that  its  lip  is  "  twice  as  large  as  of 
longifolium." — Spd.  Hardyaiium  var.  Penelaus  (cauda- 
tum Lindenii  X  Ainsworthii  calurum  x). — Spd.  gigan- 
teum  (caudatum  Lindenii  X  grande  x),  of  an  ''unusually 
large  form." — Spd.  nitidissimum  Clonius  (conchiferum 
x  ?  X  caudatum  Lindenii),  "with  a  large  chaste  lip." 
All  of  which  cases  go  to  show  that  the  variety  Lindenii 
fails  to  impart  its  abnormal  state  to  any  of  the  seedlings 
raised;  indeed,  it  is  hard  to  say  with  certainty  whether 
this  peloriate  variety  had  taken  part  in  any  of  those 
productions  of  the  gardener's  skill. 


About  other  genera,  I  have  to  mention  generally  only 
that  my  arrangement  with  Phalaenopsis  leucorrhoda  is 
made  according  to  records  published  with  those  supposed 
hybrids  which  I  now  group  under  that  name.  The  mass 
of  Calanthe  vestita  hybrids  has  become  so  mixed  that  we 
might  just  as  well  give  up  the  hope  of  restoring  order 
in  their  ranks.  But  that  much  is  certain,  that  if  we 
cross  a  variety  of  vestita  with  another  one  of  the  same 


GENERA    AND    SPECIES    EMPLOYED.  79 

• 

species,  our  hybrid  can  be  but  a  vestita  and  nothing 
else.  But  little  importance  should  be  attached  to  seed- 
lings of  Calanthe  vestifca  as  regards  scientific  individu- 
ality. Their  kind  is  too  closely  related  as  that  we  could 
look  for  distinctness  in  their  progeny.  As  illustration 
may  serve  the  statement  of  Swan,  at  Oakley,  Fallow- 
field,  who  writes  in  G.  Ch.  Dec.  9,  '82:  "  Some  seedlings, 
the  result  of  crossing  Cut.  Veitchii  x  with  the  pollen  of 
vestita  have  turned  out  true  Cnt.  vestita,  both  the  red 
and  the  white  eyed  varieties,  without  a  trace  of  Veitchii 
in  either  form  or  color."  Such  peculiarity,  of  course, 
has  nothing  whatever  to  do  with  the  exceedingly  great 
value  of  Calanthe  hybrids  for  the  uses  of  the  gardener. 

Of  Masdevallia,  I  find  mentioned  that  Lutwyche,  of 
Beckenham,  pollenized  coccinea  Harryana  successfully 
with  bella,  and  coccinea  Lindeni  with  Houtteana,  rais- 
ing good  capsules  in  either  case,  though  he  never  suc- 
ceeded vice  versa.  (See  0.  R.,  Jan.,  '94. ) 

Of  horticultural  oddities  in  the  line  of  hybridizing  I 
have  to  mention: 

Homer  crossed  Zgp.  Mackayi  with  Epd.  ciliare,  as 
well  as  Oc.  tigrinum,  and  had  seedlings  of  both.  Gdn., 
Nov.  2,  '89. 

Chapman,  for  Measures,  Camberwell,  effected  a  cross 
between  Msdvl.  leontoglossa  and  Pleurothallis  Roezlii. 
0.  R.,  April,  '94. 

Roezl  narrates  in  L'O.  (report  G.  Ch.,  July  7,  '86)  that 
in  Rothschild's  gardens  at  Vienna,  Schomburgkia  tib- 
icinis  had  been  crossed  with  LI.  purpurata,  and  Sobralia 
macrantha  with  Ct.  Mossiae. 

It  is  not  known  to  me  what  became  of  the  crosses. 

Veitch    reports    having    crossed    Zgp.    Mackayi   with 
several  Odontoglossa,  but  the  result  proved  to  be  Zgp. 
Mackayi  in  every  instance.

ANCECTOCHILUS. 

Though  these  plants  were  raised  from  crosses  effected 
amongst  plants  of  different  families,  I  nevertheless 
enumerate  them  here,  remembering  that  all  of  them  are 
lost  to  cultivation,  and  are  not  likely  to  reappear.  A 
renewed  raising  would  hardly  be  worth  the  trouble  as 
present  aims  of  horticulture  are  directed  towards  differ- 
ent ends.

Cpd.  Boxalli  Kchb.  f. 

In  the  foregoing  classification  of  Cypripedia  hybrids 
this  ladyslipper  has  been  regarded  by  me  as  a  variety  of 
Cpd.  villosum  only.  My  views  on  this  subject  are  set 
forth  on  page  66,  and  looking  over  my  notes,  drawings 
and  water-colors,  and  taking  in  consideration  so  weighty 
a  dictum  as  Veitch's  Manual,  I  refuse,  in  the  face  of  the 
Orchid  Review's  firm  stand,  to  change  my  position.  But 
have  not  all  of  us,  near  and  far,  experienced  that  the 
Orchid  Review  proves  about  as  unbiased  as  it  is  possible 
to  become?  And  do  not  all  of  us  look  to  "  R.  A.  R."  as 
the  supreme  voice  which  renders  the  decision  in  any 
case  of  dispute?  Can  it  be  wondered  at,  therefore,  if 
I  feel  forced  to  give  the  key  and  list  of  synonyms  for 
the  hybrids  of  Cpd.  Boxalli,  and  to  note  in  which  respect 
the  key  to  those  of  Cpd.  villosum  will  be  effected?  I  do 
this  as  a  tribute  of  recognition  to  a  journal  whose  every 


CYPRIPEDIUM. 


185 


statement  is  valuable,  and  the  more  so  the  older  its  voice 
becomes.  As  noted  before,  every  cross  brought  about 
through  the  agency  of  Cpd.  Boxalli  has  been  given 
varietal  rank,  and  in  those  few  instances  where  the  ar- 
rangement interferes  with  the  alphabetical  grouping  as 
hybrids  of  villosum,  the  page  is  noted  on  which  the 
hybrid  has  been  classified.

CYSEPEDIUM.  187 

CYSEPEDIUM. 

(Cypripedium  X  Selenipedium.) 

If  I  propose  to  order  under  this  combination-name  all 
those  attempts  at  cross-fertilization  of  species  of  the 
genera  Cypripedium  and  Selenipedium,  I  do  not  see  why 
the  fact  that  not  one  of  all  those  attempts  has  ever  pro- 
duced a  flowering  plant  should  interfere  with  my  pro- 
posal. Have  we  not  in  cultivation  at  many  establishments 
already  plants  now  raised  in  this  way?  Are  we  not  all 
interested  and  debating  about  this  class  of  orchid  hybrids? 
More  than  that,  do  we  not  firmly  believe  that  we  are  on 
the  eve  of  the  red-letter  day  on  which  the  first  of  these 
unica  bursts  into  flower?  And  if  we  should  be  disap- 
pointed, it  is  convenience  that  names  objects,  and  if 
my  name  hits  the  head  of  the  nail,  and  drives  it  home, 
too,  let  it  remain  and  take  root.

Sept.,  '94. 

{Cpd.  Spicerianum  ?  x  Spd.   Sedenii  x).     Treseder,  for 
Heath,  Cheltenham.     2  plants.     In  litt.,  Jan.,  '93. 
Chapman  (for  Measures,  Camberwell),  states  in  O.R., 
April,  '94,  of  his  efforts,  "  while  numerous  capsules  have 
been  obtained,  no  seed  has  ever  been  induced  to  germ- 
inate." 

R.  M.  Grey  states,  in  litt.,  Jan.,  '94,  that  he  "suc- 
ceeded in  but  two  instances  with  raising  seedlings,  though 
they  did  not  flower."  "  Sowed  over  a  hundred  pods  of 
seed." 

These  are  the  only  cases  across  which  I  have  come  in 
all  my  researches,  and  I  took  care  not  to  overlook  any. 
I  trust  my  notes  will  be  encouraging  to  all  those  who 
care  to  leave  the  well-worn  tracks  of  everybody's  vehicles. 
But,  gentlemen,  do  not  let  us  be  fed  with  such  meager 
notes,  when  we  are  troubled  with  ravenous  appetite 
for  information,  and  the  worse  so  the  nearer  we  think 
we  are  getting  to  the  day  on  which  you  will  appease  our 
greed.  Keep  track  of  what  you  perform,  give  time  em- 
ployed, and  all  circumstances  developing,  and  when  the 
hybrid  flowers,  I  trust  that  the  godfathers  of  the  plant 
of  your  care  will  have  the  moral  courage  to  attach  to  it 
the  name  of  its  raiser,  the  successful  gardener.

standpoint,  and  puzzles  when  considered  by  the  scientist. 
They  swell  the  number  of  those  crosses  (enumerated  in 
the  supplement)  which  refuse  to  combine  the  characters 
of  the  parents  employed,  and  instead  take  wholly  after 
one  parent  only.  They  are: 

Cspd.  Corndeanii,  "  supposed  to  have  originated  from 
(Cpd.  Lawrenceanum  ?  X  Spd.  Sedenii  x),  though 
only  the  influence  of  the  former  is  apparent  "  (0.  R., 
June,  '95).  "  It  was  bought  at  a  sale  of  Proth.  & 
Morris,  and  cannot  be  vouched  for  in  its  record.  Sown 
April,  '90;  sdlgs.  July,  '90.  Exhbt.  at  RHS.,  May  14, 
'95,  for  Swinburne,  Corndean  Hall,  Cheltenham,  by 
Reiidel. 

Cspd.  Cunea  (Spd.  longifolium  Hartwegii  $  X  Cpd. 
Stonei).  Raised  by  Robert  M.  Grey,  for  Graves, 
Orange,  Mass.  Its  record  is  not  clouded  through  un- 
certainty. It  was  crossed  March  4,  '92;  sown  May  8, 
'92,  germinated  July  8,  '92,  and  flowered  Aug.  23,  '94. 
"  The  pollen  was  removed  from  the  seed-bearing  plant 
before  the  flower  was  fully  expanded.  The  plant  re- 
sembles the  seed-bearing  parent  very  closely;  scape 
pubescent;  flowers  colored  much  as  in  Hartwegii,  but 
broader  at  apex  of  lip."  He  remarks:  "I  had  very 
many  hybrids  between  the  two  genera  up  when  I  left 
Mr.  Graves'  employ."  In  litt. ,  July  27,  '95.

FIRST  SUPPLEMENT; 

RECORDING     ADDITIONS    TO    LIST    OF     HYBRIDS     PUBLISHED 
UP    TO    OCTOBER    15,  1895. 


While  the  printing  of  this  book  was  proceeding,  every- 
thing new  and  appertaining  was  inserted  in  proper  place, 
as  far  as  such  course  could  be  pursued.  The  remaining 
additions  are  offered  in  this  first  supplement.  I  note 
again  that  the  pages  listing  the  new  and  corrected 
hybrids  might  be  cut  into  pieces  and  attached  to  strips, 
which  have  to  be  provided  for  by  the  binder  when  ar- 
ranging pages  80  to  245.  As  need  makes  itself  felt,  I 
will  publish  further  supplements. 


Hybrids  which  display  characters  of  but  one  of  their 
parents  in  more  or  less  prominence,  have  been  attract- 
ing attention  and  causing  discussions  for  quite  a  time 
past.  We  have  analogies  in  our  home-life,  and  are  thus 
prepared  to  look  upon  them  with  interest  only,  not  with 
astonishment.  I  resume: 

Oypripedium  Ashworthice,  "apparently  identical  with 
Leeanum." — (Godefroym  X  niveum)  gave  a  multitude  of 
seedlings  resembling  related  species. — Leeanum  "  revert- 
ing to  Spicerianum." — Marshallianum  "  seedlings  gave 
poor  venustums." — Tautzianum  "with  no  trace  of 


248  LIST    OF    HYBRIDS. 

Cysepedium- crosses  evidently  refuse  to  combine  the 
characters  of  their  parents. 

Dendrobium  (nobile  Cooksonianum  )<  nobile  nobilius) 
11  producing  ordinary  forms  of  nobile." — Sibyl  "with 
no  trace  of  bigibbum." 

Epidendrum  O'Brieniaiium  lt  reverting  to  Epd.  evec- 
tum." 

Epiphronitis  Veitchii  with  "  no  trace  of  Sophronitis." 

Odopetalum,  raised  so  far,  turned  out  to  be  forms  of 
Zgp.  Mackayi. 

Sdenipedium  pulchellum  "resembling  leucorrho- 
dum." — Porphyreum  and  albidulum  from  the  same  cross. 
— Sedeniij  resembling  longifolium  Roezlii  (see  page  77.) 
See  also  remarks  on  page  19. 


Who  is  the  first  to  introduce  the  blood  of  the  wild 
decideous  Cypripedia  into  our  race  of  hybrids?  Would 
not  Cpd.  spectabile  with  its  vigorous  nature,  its  stately 
habit  and  its  lovely  bloom  reward  the  hybridizer  beyond 
expectation?  An  entirely  new  race  of  Lady-slippers 
should  be  raised  with  these  species,  neglected  so  far. 


Corrections  in  nomenclature  were  called  for  in  two 
more  instances.  Cypripedium  Romulus  had  been  estab- 
lished previous  to  the  naming  of  Grey's  hybrid  of  that 
name.  I  substitute  "  Remus.  "Thunia  Veitchiana  mag- 
nifica,  as  exhibited  of  Sander-origin,  has  nothing  to  do 
with  Veitchiana,  and  is  registered  as  magnifies.

the  right  road,  and  it  must  be  adopted  sooner  or  later.  No  one  can,  on  reading  your  book,

INTRODUCTORY. 

Many  thanks  to  all  those  friends  of  our  orchids  who  have 
given  me  the  consideration  of  a  critic.  Whether  friendly 
to  my  ideas  or  unpleasantly  touched  by  some  of  rny  pas- 
sages, they  are  welcome  alike  as  long  as  they  accorded  me 
justice  in  dealing  with  my  views  as  sincere. 

My  expression  of  high  regard  also  to  all  those  orchidol- 
ogists  who  have  added  so  extensively  to  our  knowledge 
about  hybrids  during  the  past  year.  Prof.  R.  A.  Rolfe, 
through  the  Orchid  Review,  our  organ,  has  been  foremost 
in  bringing  clearness  into  many  difficult  and  obscure  matters. 
I  have  distributed  to  their  proper  places  all  that  information 
given  to  us  about  Cypripedium  Petri,  virens,  Siamense,  Ap- 
pletonianum.  The  positiveness  about  the  Cattleyas  in  regard 
to  their  standing  as  species,  and  the  last  lot  of  Hybrid  Odon- 
toglossa,  caused  me  to  rearrange  the  synonymy  in  numerous 
cases.  Mr.  T.  L.  Mead,  of  Oviedo,  Fla.,  Mr.  Reginald  Young, 
of  Fringilla,  Sefton  Park,  and  Mr.  T.  W.  Swinburne,  Corn- 
dean  Hall,  Winchcombe,  the  Champion  of  our  Cysepedia, 
deserve  special  mention  for  their  varied  and  successful  efforts. 
Messrs.  Veitch  and  Mr.  Norman  C.  Cookson,  through  his  gar- 
dener, Wm.  Murray,  and  Mr.  C.  L.  N.  Ingram,  through  Mr. 
T.  W.  Bond,  have  been  the  most  successful  contributors  to 
the  list  of  hybrids. 

The  consequent  extension  of  our  knowledge  has  forced 
me  to  rearrange  many  hybrids,  their  parents  having  acquired 
independent  places  as  species.  This  gives  new  keys  to  the 
crosses  raised  with  Lselia  Dayana  and  LI.  pumila,  with  Cat- 
tleya  amethystoglossa  and  Harrisoniana.  Some  of  this 
information  was  published  while  the  print  of  my  volume 
was  under  way,  too  late  to  give  room  to  the  needed  correc-

IV  INTRODUCTORY. 

tions.  Cypripedium  Boxalli,  considered  once,  even  by  Mr. 
Rolfe,  nothing  but  a  variety  of  Cpd.  villosum,*  is  now 
accepted  as  a  ladyslipper  sufficiently  distinct  to  admit  the 
crosses  raised  with  it  independently  into  our  nomenclature, 
and  I  give  a  new  key  to  Boxalli  as  well  as  villosum. 

I  ask  the  forbearance  of  my  readers  for  the  delay  in  the 
issue  of  the  second  supplement,  brought  about  through  a 
change  of  residence.  I  print  the  matter  on  one  side  only,  to 
enable  those  desiring  such  an  opportunity  to  insert  these 
pages  on  fly-leaves  in  the  volume  first  published.
